This is up to your personal opinion. Mormons believe that the Book of Mormon is the Word of God, and that it is a testament of Jesus Christ to be used side-by-side with The Bible. They encourage everyone to read the book and decide for themselves.
The original writers of the Book of Mormon (between 600 BC and 400 AD) were prophets who were lead by Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ himself also makes a personal appearance in the Book of Mormon, after his resurrection and ascension. Mormons believe that it was translated into English by Joseph Smith by the power and inspiration of Jesus Christ.

∙ 14y agoThe Book of Mormon is regarded as scripture and the Word of God by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons").
It is a record of people who traveled from the Biblical Holy Land to the American continent and God's dealings with them.
The Book of Mormon is a strong witness of the divinity of Jesus Christ, and the Church uses it as "Another Testament of Jesus Christ", alongside the Bible. It also contains a record of Jesus Christ visiting the ancient inhabitants of the American Continent after his resurrection. In this account (found in the book of Third Nephi) he delivers sermons similar to those found in the Gospels of the New Testament.

Is the book of Mormon considered a Christian book?
To those who follow the Mormon faith, the Book of Mormon is indeed another testament of Jesus Christ, and His eternal position as the Savior and mediator of all mankind. To them, the Book of Mormon compliments and supports the teachings of the Bible, not replaces it. Just as the Bible is a record of God's dealings with people in the Eastern hemisphere, which includes the prophecies, birth, ministry, teachings, crucifiction, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the savior of the world, the Book of Mormon contains writings from people who lived in the Western hemisphere. The writings of the Book of Mormon contain the histories of these people from about the time of the tower of Babel, to about 400 AD. The prophets in the book testify of Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world, and record His dealings with them. Found in the Book of Mormon are prophecies of Jesus' birth, ministry from prophets, and a first hand account of the natural disasters that occurred following His crucifiction. Following His resurrection, the Savior visited the people in the Western hemisphere, and taught the His gospel. This event is recorded in the 3 Nephi 11 in the Book of Mormon.
