 This book started out slow for me and then picked up a little.  I kept reading hoping that something would pull me in, but it just never happened.  There were a few interesting character profiles, which account for the 2 star rating.  Toward the end of the book, something happened that just left me with a horrible taste in my mouth and made me want to throw the book in the fireplace.

This book gives a disturbing look into the "church" known as Scientology. I had previously done studies in my small group about cults and other religions, but those studies weren't nearly as detailed as this was.  I don't understand how this group can get by with the things they do, nor do I understand how they're classified as a church and have a tax exempt status.
