I did not particularly care for this book. The writing can be engaging at times, however, I found the subject matter to be strange and, at times, disturbing. I am not even sure that I can say that this is an interesting 'look' inside a religious cult. There is so much focus on punishment and suffering. I found scenes like repeatedly dunking a caged, pregnant 14 year old girl in a lake because she refused to 'confess' to be as disturbing as some of the child abuse stories we read about in the papers and hear about on the news today. At best, I would say this was a strange book.
