More Insane Than Tiger King

I had no idea how absolutely insane Scientology is. Every page I said to myself "there's no way it gets crazier than this", but it did, every time, and the story is still going in the news today.

Very Informative

This book is very thorough & involved a lot of research. It gives a great overview but much of the details are disturbing. This is something that people should know about & BEWARE. Only issue I had was the fact that Leah Remini was not mentioned once in the entire book. She was & is a celebrity & everyone else with ties to Hollywood was mentioned. If not for that, I would give it 5 stars.
