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.
