I didn't really know much about Scientology before I picked up this book. There's a recruitment centre here that I've passed by hundreds of times over the years, and I've always been curious, but the information I've found has been pretty spotty, mostly focusing on Tom Cruise's own particular brand of weirdness.

This book is one woman's account of growing up in this religion/cult/church/system. Hill lays bare the myriad and complex ways its members are brainwashed and kept in line through her own day to day experiences. This is definitely an insider's view, and if you are at all curious, definitely worth the read.
