Slow at the beginning but after getting into it, I could hardly put it down. I learned a lot about Scientology. The author is a brave woman to write a book about this abusive religion. I can't imagine anybody wanting to stay in such a restrictive environment with little control over their own lives.

I enjoyed this account of the childhood and adolescence of the niece of David Miscavige, the current leader of the Church of Scientology. She grows up in the church and becomes disenchanted over time as she begins to think for herself.

I was a little bit disappointed with this book. I'd wanted to read it for so long that possibly it couldn't live up to my expectations. That said, I found a lot of the details absolutely boring and yet, I cared enough about the author to want to finish the book and I did. This way of living was so crazy and abusive, but I don't think many CS people would relate, as they haven't a clue what goes on for those living totally in the CS community. I can't imagine having to be alone as much as these kids were and how these people have gotten away with is neglect and abuse is beyond my comprehension. I honestly do recommend the book, but only if you're prepared to get past a lot of details that would bore the most boring person.
