Interpretation Supposing Books Cage of Stars

Unrealistic, repetitive, and very uneven. The build-up takes forever and then the climax and dénoumént pass in a flash, and none of it leaves much of an impact. The plot, characters, and details are not at all believable. I guess it might make for a nice, frothy, feel-good read if you like that kind of thing, but it's a literary lightweight.

I did feel a little browbeaten by the repeated references to Mormonism, although maybe not as much as some people. I'm a Quaker; people have all sorts of weird ideas about us, too. Oh, well. I got the feeling that the author was very anxious to feel unique, special, and put-upon because of her religion, which was more tiresome than the Mormonism specifically.

This book is written by a woman who is clearly NOT Mormon about a little girl who is. And I have to admit that this was part of the intrigue for me. And although I could tell that Mitchard was trying to be delicate and sensitive and kind about the religion, she was off on quite a few things. Some more obvious than others: Some were just saying things in a way that LDS people wouldn't. For example, she had two thirteen year old girls calling each other "sister" which would never happen. There

Twelve-year-old Veronica Swan idyllic life in a clos-knit Mormon community is shattered when her two younger sisters, Becky and Ruthie, are violently murdered in a shed behind the house. The mother is pregnant with another child and is in total denial. Vonnie takes o n the role of caregiver for the baby when he is born. Even though the man has been captured who killed the girls, Vonnie can not forgive him as their religion teaches. She is terrified and obsesses about making sure the house is

This is an interesting book to review. The story line is based on a young Mormon girl, Ronnie, living in Southern Utah. She is a witness to the murders of her two younger sisters and struggles with her feelings as her parents find it in their hearts to forgive. It is a mystery to many reviewers as to why the writer didn't have a Mormon from Southern Utah actually do some editing. Through the first two-thirds of the book the many pesky little errors become distracting. Although in another way, it

This was a 'bargain bin' book buy. And I can see why I found it there.I never actually read Mitchard's "Deep End of the Ocean"--only because I saw the movie first and I don't like reading books once I've seen the movie (I can handle it the other way around). I've heard it's her best book.But Cage of Stars I found slow. Especially at the beginning. It picked up finally around page 200, but by then, you also wanted to get the point of the vague references to what would happen next to actually

Although this book has some definite flaws, I thought it was a pretty enjoyable read. I was born and raised LDS, so I am rather an expert on Mormons, and Mormon traditions and beliefs. The book was right in many ways, and totally off base in others. Many Mormon reviewers were outraged by the inaccuracies in the book. My thoughts on that were although the author was wrong about many of the doctrines and customs, she portrayed Mormons as overall good, faithful people. I think that's really what

This is the second book I 'checked out' from the library on my Kindle. So much better than the first but that is another story. I would have given this one 3 stars for the humor factor but I am so stingy about stars and feel the only reason I would recommend this book would be because it is so hillariously inaccurate. The author, not LDS, writes about an LDS family who goes through a terrible tradgedy where two of their children are killed. The parents eventually decide they need to forgive the
