This is a fictional story about the Pre-existence. I know sounds dangerous. Amazingly this author pull it off in a believable way. While clearly not doctrine, it is interesting. The fictionalization of spiritual leaders did not make me cringe, as some other Mormon author's characterization of leaders has. It is a painful reminder of what our purpose on earth is. In some points the book is heart wrenching. One must possess a good working knowledge of preexistence and latter-day revelation to Joseph Smith to understand the deeper implications of this book. It is steeped in Mormon doctrine. The story is gripping and intense. As long as you understand this is fiction, it is quite enjoyable.
5 out of 5
Language: While there is no swearing the debates get heated and carry quite a bit of emotion. Lucifer is quite brutal in his denunciation of God's plan of happiness, which might startle younger children.
Morality: not an issue
Violence: There are several scenes of violence. Particularly one where the earth life is depicted, very brutal violence is described, while not in detail, it could be disturbing.
