Literally Stuffed

This is a butterball of a book! You have your dark meat, your light meat, your alien abduction, your two-headed cowboy, your small-town pranks, and The Scholar of Moab is literally stuffed with the screwy innocence of Hyrum LeRoy Thayne, strayed Mormon and willing servant of the Lord.

 

I do not normally review a book before I’ve finished it, but The Scholar of Moab is no ordinary book.


_ You need this book for the holidays. Your estranged aunt who wears brogans in the snow needs this book. Your brothers-in-law who are impossible to buy for need it. Your bishop needs it (if he has a sense of humor. If he doesn’t, he may need it even more.) I think you could safely send a copy of Scholar to philosophy majors, outdoor addicts, Moab addicts, high school drop-outs, romantics, cynics, geologists, belly dancers and German Shepherds.
