An Excellent Reference

I'm a senior in high school who just finished this book (among others on cults) and I think this book is quite useful. Who knew Kellogg's (in my own state, no less) and the Oneida silverware company began as cults?It's not just good for understanding cults, it makes a wonderful writer's reference, too! My novel involves a cult, but this book helped me see that it was far too tame and stood outside the guidelines found in most real life cults.A must read!

Infinitely more suitable for adolescents than Joan Bhargusen's book. Period.
