This crap is bananas! The Scientology theology alone (starting with evil galactic overlord Xenu and his genocidal psychologist minions and going downhill from there) is bonkers and I don't understand how anyone could believe it, but that's not necessarily a problem. I don't need to understand how someone could believe something to accept that they *do* believe it and find some kind of meaning for their lives in those beliefs.

My problem is the vicious abuse and violations of human rights and criminal laws that are perpetuated by the Church, which are extensive documented in this book. I don't understand why someone doesn't put a stop to this insanity.

This book is definitely worth a read. The author has researched and interviewed extensively, and does a good job giving not just Scientology critics, but also its supporters space to express their views (although, frankly, it does little to help their case, just because of the nature of their claims). Very well done.
