Frightening

Aside from the fact that Moonwebs reads like a novel, flowing easily and pulling the reader into its narrative, there is a far greater reason to read the book. First written over twenty years ago and reprinted in 1989, one would think that it would be a history of days gone by, situations resolved. But its tale of "Reverend" Sung Myung Moon and his Moonies is just as relevant today because Moon is still very powerful. We no longer see Moonies selling flowers in the street much, so we have forgotten what Moon can do. Today, Moon's empire is more mainstream, with real estate and publishing holdings. And that is even scarier than the brainwashed youngsters told of in this book. Today, Moon has the power and influence to extend his brainwashing to far greater numbers of us. Moonwebs is thought-provoking and scary for that very reason.

Moonwebs

This book does an amazing job at explaining the highly sophisticated techniques of cult organizations and the mental process that goes on inside the mind of someone who falls prey to a cult.It also explains the political and financial background of Rev. Moon.
