Stories from Jonestown by Leigh Fondakowski

4.0

So this was a really difficult book to read. Not only is it a difficult subject, but you are reading interviews with People's Temple members and survivors of Jonestown. I started this book about six months ago and got halfway through. I just couldn't finish because I knew what was coming. I picked up the book last night and finished the second half of the book. I can't recommend it more highly. Digging deep into this book is scary and rewarding. I think everyone needs to know exactly what happened at Jonestown, it was only forty years ago! Please give it a read, even if you think you can't. Also, I will never, ever, say the phrase " they drank the kool aid" again. ever.
