Manhattan Cult Story: My Unbelievable True Story of Sex, Crimes, Chaos, and Survival by Spencer Schneider

3.0

I had never heard of School, the Sharon Gans cult, so this was interesting to learn about. Schneider, one of the cult members who rose to the inner circle over 20 years of being involved, writes this in an easily digestible way, almost like a journalist. That being said, I thought some of the prose choices made me roll my eyes. I also didn't love how he seemed to demonize mental illness with some of his word choices and characterization, but overall a quick read on a lesser known cult.
