I hesitate to write this entry after reading/listening to this book for fear that I will be targeted by scientologists...
I decided to pick up this book after years of bad-mouthing scientology with little knowledge about the "religion." I figured that I should learn something about it... Now I feel like I can talk bad about scientology. This "religion" is seriously messed up. Forced abortions, kidnapping, extortion, money laundering, etc... And because there are a few rich and famous scientologists, they get what they want. In fact, their method of brainwashing new recruits is being sold to Title One schools as a way to help students pass standardized tests under a non-scientology name. Crazy.
If you are at all interested in scientology, I would recommend this book. It does get bogged down in some details, but with a genuine reporter as the author, I would expect no less.
