Don't Call it a Cult: The Shocking Story of Keith Raniere and the Women of NXIVM by Sarah Berman

4.0

After basically giving up on watching The Vow after a few episodes, I’m glad this showed up as it was such a better overview of the NXIVM cult. Unlike the documentary, this book gets right to the details and goes mostly in chronological fashion without trying to peel back all the layers as the documentary clumsily does. Raniere is certainly a psychopath and the overall story with the impacted lives is really so depressing to hear about after what he put many of these poor women through. Author does a very good job with all the facts and storyline.
