Escape is the current book that I am reading written by Carolyn Jessop. Escape is the harrowing story of Carolyn's escape from the Colorado City Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints Polygamist Cult. This book is an intense read. This book is not for the feint of heart, but it is a very good story that needs to be told.
It is easy to look outside of the situation and lifestyle and wonder what make a person choose a lifestyle like that? However, one has to remember that when you are a sixth generation FLDS Polygamist, such as Carolyn, what other life do you know? Carolyn was married at 18 to Merril Jessop, who in my opinion, should be shot, and was his fourth wife. There was rampant abuse within the community, and wives playing bitter and jealousy games with each other.
Read this book and get a good look into what her life was like and how she is going now. You won't be disappointed.

I finally got around to seeing the newest action thiller "Eagle Eye", starring Shia LaBouf. (While, as a person, I am not a big fan of Shia, thanks to the DUI's and criminal trespassing charges, he is a good actor.)
This movie was fast paced with the action starting within the first 15 minutes and it kept you guessing until the final few minutes before the credits rolled.
It all started for poor Jerry when he hits the ATM machine for cash and notices that his balance is $751,000.00. Then as he arrives home, there are boxes and bags of every ingredient that the Anarchist's Cookbook would call for. His phone rings and a woman states "The FBI will be arriving in 30 seconds to arrest you, you need to run. Jerry Shaw, you have been activated."
There are too few movies in Hollywood these days that seem to think that you need lots of special effects and stunts and a whimpy script to make a good movie. I think that this movie had the perfect balance of special effects and a good script to boot. This movie also had an outstanding Porsche (pronounced por-sche with two syllabuls, for the non-porsche owners, unlike me) Cayenne high speed chase. It was enough that I was seriously contemplating seeing what I could get for my 1974 Porsche 914 2.0 liter, so I could get one! I would highly suggest seeing this flick!
One word of caution: make sure that are up for a wild ride!!
