This book is a perfect study in psychology. It is about how easy it is to be preyed upon by a cult, and which type of person are most likely to fall for the manipulative strategies used by cults. It is terrifying and facinating, and the book itself had a lot to say about what it means to be human in our day and age. I especially enjoyed the Covid aspect of the story. A large part of the cult's message is about the end of the world, which was fitting for what the world experienced during those years. I liked the deniability and open ending of the story. Was there every any magic, or was it drugs and collective hallucinations? What happended to Charlie in the end? I also REALLY enjoyed the narrative style, switching between the character in an office-like fashion, and also including a "we" narrator, which was a good way to showcase the cult-mentality which formed between the members. Overall I think this has the potential to become the next big thing, a mordern classic, and I am devestated to not have heard anybody talk about it! Definetly something I could see myself teaching from as an english teacher, if not for all the sex lol.
