The reviews have poured in this week:
First up, I got a review at the Writing Fortress blog. Rebecca Talley author of numerous LDS books including "Altared Plans" and "The Upside of Down" said:
"I wasn't sure if I'd like this book, I'm not a big memoir reader, but it
pulled me right in. I found myself thinking about it and hoping for a
particular ending. This isn't a conversion story, it's about
Harrington's spiritual journey and I liked his candor. He didn't
sugarcoat anything..."

Consumer Avenger/Media Reviewer & former LDS Missionary Jen Head Jen said on her site:
"It was interesting to get a view of how non-Mormons view Mormons. What was refreshing was that I didn't feel the need to defend myself while reading, and that Dan gave the missionaries - and their message - the benefit of the doubt at every turn...
Overall, I very much enjoyed the book, and finished the bulk of it in one sitting...A very thought-provoking..."

She even rated it as 5 Mint Oreo Cookies. That's one tasty rating!

Danyelle Ferguson, author of "Mormon Mishaps & Mischief" also praised the book on her site as "heartwarming, funny, and insightful:
"Who's at the Door is an excellent
example of looking past the names on the signs in front of your local
churches and instead respecting and supporting each other. I will always
remember that wise phrase: There's room for everyone at God's table."
She actually picked out one of my favorite scenes in the book as one of her favorite moments as well. You can read the full review here.
Looks like it is off to a fantastic start. I can't wait to read it myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing part of my review! I'm glad it's looking like a great hit of a book! It's fun to see others' thoughts on it. I too loved that line about the dinner table. Speaking of which, I'm thrilled you love the Oreo rating system. Those things are incredible.
