I would like to say I never get revenge now (and I'm not talking about pranks and jokes between friends), but I wouldn't want to lie to you... I'm not that perfect

Some claim that the Alvin Maker series was based off of the life of Joseph Smith but I find this connection to be very loose at the least. (yet more proof though of Orson's Mormonism in his writing as mentioned by Mr. Toast)
