Historia
Founder of the largest indigenous Christian church in American history, Joseph Smith published the 584-page Book of Mormon when he was 23 and went on to organize a church, found cities, and attract thousands of followers before his violent death at age 38. Richard Bushman, an esteemed cultural historian and a practicing Mormon, moves beyond the popular stereotype of Smith as a colorful fraud to explore his personality, his relationships with others, and how he received revelations.

Historia
On April 7, 1844, Joseph Smith gave a sermon in Nauvoo, Illinois, to nearly 20,000 church members. A few weeks earlier, a church member and close friend of Joseph named King Follett was killed in an accident. This well-known event in Nauvoo led Joseph Smith to comment specifically on Follett’s death and to address what Joseph called “[T]he subject of the dead”.

Historia
The frontiersmen were a remarkable breed of men. They were often rough and illiterate, sometimes brutal and vicious, often seeking an escape in the wilderness of mid-America from crimes committed back east. In the beautiful but deadly country which would one day come to be known as West Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, more often than not they left their bones to bleach beside forest paths or on the banks of the Ohio River.

From the publishers that brought you A Game of Thrones comes the series that inspired George R.R. Martin’s epic work. France became a great nation under Philip the Fair - but it was a greatness achieved at the expense of her people, for his was a reign characterised by violence, the scandalous adulteries of his daughters-in-law, and the triumph of royal authority.

Historia
Of all of John Irving's books, this is the one that lends itself best to audio. In print, Owen Meany's dialogue is set in capital letters; for this production, Irving himself selected Joe Barrett to deliver Meany's difficult voice as intended. In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys – best friends – are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary and terrifying.

Historia
Defying both civil authorities and the Mormon establishment in Salt Lake City, the renegade leaders of these Taliban-like theocracies are zealots who answer only to God; some 40,000 people still practice polygamy in these communities. At the core of Krakauer’s book are brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty, who insist they received a commandment from God to kill a blameless woman and her baby girl. Beginning with a meticulously researched account of this appalling double murder, Krakauer constructs a bone-chilling narrative of messianic delusion, polygamy, savage violence, and unyielding faith.

Historia
The Fire in the Rock is a first-person retelling of the Exodus story from the viewpoint of Tzipporah, the wife of Moses; but it is not a conventional Bible story. First, God is offstage; he is present only in the characters' hearts and thoughts. Second, there are no overt miracles - all the events of the Plagues and the Exodus are attributed to natural, if unique, events that are now known to have taken place at around that time.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

Vert good if you understand what you are getting
Any additional comments?
This is not a biography of Joseph Smith but rather a series of journal entries from a fictitious character who is an early convert to Mormonism. This character takes the listener through the process of his conversion, his gathering to Zion in Kirtland, Missouri, and Nauvoo and the persecutions and troubles of those time periods. The character interacts with Joseph Smith along the way but this is not a book about Joseph Smith per se. As a convert, the character portrays the events through the lens of a believer though the author includes the other side of the story via apostates or the main character's own internal debates as events unfold.
I found the book entertaining and a worthwhile listen because I understood what the book was before I started. In that regard, the title of the book is misleading. The author's portrayal of historical events were accurate and his writing style was very appropriate to the time period and kept me engaged. If you are interested in learning more about the early history of the LDS Church in an entertaining way then you will enjoy this book.
I will not spoil the ending but there is a twist at the end that some reviewers did not like. Though I knew something was coming, the twist caught me by complete surprise and I thought that it was an incredible move by the author (in a good way). It proved to me that the author was out to write a great book and not just follow a traditional script.

AWESOME
I LISTENED TO IT ONCE, DIDN'T CARE FOR IT MUCH, THEN BY ACCIDENT IT STARTED AGAIN ON MY IPOD, (LIKE A YEAR LATER) AND I GOT CAUGHT UP IN IT.
PUT MYSELF IN THE HISTORY OF LIVING THERE AND GOING THOUGH THE
WHAT THEY DID. THE AUTHOR AND NARRATOR WAS SO GOOD, IT WAS EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND PUT YOUR HEART INTO THEIR BELIEFS AND HARDSHIPS.
LOVE IT AND GOING TO LISTEN TO IT RIGHT NOW TO SEE IF I MISS ANYTHING AT THE END. THE END WAS THE MOST SURPRISING TO ME. NEED TO LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND THAT PART AGAIN.

From the eyes of a friend
I enjoyed the point of view of Josephs friend and his conversion. I felt like I had a more rich understanding of the world of Joseph Smith and all he dealt with.

Joseph Smith: A Prophet
This is an interesting fictional account of the Prophet's life. Luckily it does retell the LDS church history in an accurate and respectful manner. It also has some good, uplifting parts, but the ending is a little confusing and the overall message in unclear.

A MUST READ LDS BOOK!
What made the experience of listening to Joseph Smith the most enjoyable?
THE ENTIRE BOOK IS INCREDIBLE! A MUST READ! NARRATOR DID A SUPER JOB!!
Who was your favorite character and why?
JOSEPH SMITH AND HIS FAITHFULL FOLLOWERS AND EVEN IN THE SAD TIMES THEY GIVE THANKS TO GOD! IT HAS TAUGHT ME SO VERY MUCH! ALL THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS AND MISSONS THEY SERVED, TEACHING THE GOSPEL! IT MADE ME CRY DUE TO THE MOBS WHO PERSECUTED THE MORMONS, AND HAVING TO CONSTANTLY KEEP LEAVING THERE HOMES TO MOVE. ALL THE PPL WHO LOST THERE LIVES! THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL BOOK! ONE OF MY FAVORITES!

Learning the Entertaining Way
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
If they are interested in the life of Joseph Smith but are bored by your run-of-the-mill biography, then yes.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked that Hemingway included a story line. Joseph Smith's biography was, in a way, snuck into the story.
Any additional comments?
Payne's voice is a bit theatrical for my taste. At first, I thought I wouldn't finish the book but I got over it and am enjoying it now. With Hemingways extensive detail and Payne's deep voice, it is easy to zone out. I found myself skipping back regularly.

Worth the listen
Would you consider the audio edition of Joseph Smith to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print so I can't say. I thought the audio was excellent and the narratrion very good.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the way it opened my eyes to how someone living in the circumstances depicted could interpret the events completely differently than history would remember them.
Have you listened to any of Marvin Payne’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not. I would be more inclined to buy a book knowing he was the narrorator.
Any additional comments?
This book is cleaver in that you never can be certain if the doubts of the main character are building an eventual weight that with cause him to change his intense convictions or if he is going to be faithful to the end. I am 75% through this book and have no idea if the author is trying to cast Mormons in a positive or negative light. Very enjoyable.
