Cults: Inside the World's Most Notorious Groups and Understanding the People Who Joined Them by Max Cutler

informative tense medium-paced

3.5

You can tell right from the beginning that a ton of research went into the creation of this book. I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook which contained a variety of narrators; Each narrator had brought their own style and life to each cult telling, which made it so there was never a dull moment. This book covers cults we’ve all heard of like the Manson Family to the small ones that reach far and wide like Osho who was an Indian religious leader. Not only are you able to learn about these cults, but also about the people who join them and how they find themselves there. Throughout reading this book I had one singular question running through my mind. “How far will people go just so they are able to feel like they belong?”
