If you know going in that Jenna is telling her story and experience with Scientology, not strictly giving you a blow-by-blow of the church she grew up in, I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did. She has an important story to tell and I appreciated being brought along on her journey. I learned a great deal about Scientology through her experiences growing up in this strict, sometimes nonsensical system, and also about who she became along the way as an individual.

This book describes a life of pure drudgery growing up as a scientologist. I felt Jenna was constantly being punished for someting or other. Not being able to watch tv or interact with people on the outside, it took a long time for Jenna to realize that things could be different. I didn't exactly have a positive attitude toward scientology from the start and I consider it even more of a sect now than before, considering the systematic brainwashing its members are exposed to. It's long-winded read, but I'm glad I made the effort nonetheless.

i thought this sounded EERILY FAMILIAR, but it had the same ghost writer as some FLDS tell alls.

I found the topic quite interesting but incredibly sad. The rating is at a three because I felt the book should have been much shorter.

Creepy!

it was only okay. wild story, though.
