Cults: Inside the World's Most Notorious Groups and Understanding the People Who Joined Them, by Max Cutler
2.0
DNF'd at 68%. There's very little depth or analysis, which feels like an important aspect for a any true crime book. If you've listened to Parcast at all, you've probably gotten more detail from the podcasts. Especially with the more well known cults.
Like another reviewer asked, who is this book for? If you're fascinated by true crime, you generally want to know all the whys and hows. This book just will not satisfy your morbid curiosity. This is more like an introductory overview. Which already exists in podcast form... which they have...? So why make a book?
Also, I can't really place it, but the tone just feels... off. Like the authors were rolling their eyes while writing this.
