I have been waiting for this book to come out ever since Jana announced her intention to do a comprehensive survey on generational Mormon attitudes, especially focusing on the Millennial generation. I am pleased that it covered so many bases so well! With all the data analysis that goes with survey results, one might have expected some pretty dry reading, but that was not what I found here. The personal stories of people that were interviewed brought the statistics to life, and organizing the survey results according to specific themes brought it all together in an accessible, very readable way. I actually had a hard time putting it down! This is a great resource for anyone open to having their preconceptions turned upside down and inside out.
