review 1: I prefer her straight romance or fiction, like Athena in the Newport Book Club series or her short stories in the Timeless Romance Anthologies. Part of that is that I just don't like the speculation that goes with Book of Mormon fictionalizations. I didn't like them from Orson Scott Card in the Homecoming series, and I don't really like these either. That's a personal preference though.That being said, the idea that people's choices have far-reaching consequences is a good storyline. The characters are realistic, and Naiva is a sympathetic character. If you like her Book of Mormon books, you'll probably like this.
review 2: I try to be careful about throwing around 5-star ratings; often, I find they're just so much hyperbole. Typically, 2-4 star ratings are mo... morere useful in helping me evaluate a book in advance. That said, I think this book earned its rating. My wife absolutely loved this book as well. She took it from me, shortly after I got home, and didn't put it down until she finished reading it later that night.Daughters of Jared conveys a message of hope despite despair. That resonated with me, especially with some of my current life issues.Life is tough. That's just a fact. God lets us go through tough times. But above all--and this is what the book illustrates--God is a god of deliverance.Despite that the book is a fictionalized account of some real events, the characters were very well done--I've actually known people that were quite similar to those in DoJ. That drew me into the story, and helped engage my emotions even though I wasn't part of the target audience.Moore's main character really had work for her ultimate reward. I appreciated that; I'm not a big fan of the "Mary Sue." I've already recommended this book on other sites, and I'd be happy to do it again. :) less
