Mday said Three Stars. The show was better. maemae said Dangerous cult. Very enlighteninghard to comprehend how one person can attain so much evil power. Also, it amazes me how people can be so gullible. Find a weakness or void and evil will step right in.. TAMMY CHAVEZ said Badly Written. I bought this on my kindle two days ago and cannot get through chapter one. In my opinion, it's badly written and reads like a textbook. For such an important story, I would have thought the author would show more emotion in the writing. I cannot force myself to read this any longer. Waste of $10.00. I'll wait to watch the documentary.
