I can set many more Mormons straight, if given the chance.
I have been reading since the 60s. That's time enough to read books I wanted to read, such as detective novels and science fiction, and books I needed to read, such as histories, religious works, sciences, and math. I have read thousands of books. I have a huge library at home. And I have many more years, hopefully, to read even more.
The blurb on that book you mentioned says "viewed through the lenses," which means someone else's ideas of what the books say. I'd rather read for myself and get it unfiltered by someone else's "lens."

Once again you make excellent points. You’re right, it would just be regurgitating the summarizing authors POV.
