“It is both a delight and a curse when a book grabs me like this one did - a delight in the enjoyment of reading and a curse in not doing the other things I should be doing because I want to read more.
I have a long-held interest in religious cults, but mostly of the Christian variety, so I had never paid much attention to the Hare Krishnas. I used to see them chanting and dancing outside the post office at college in the early 1970s and in airports after that, but that's about all.
An acquaintance, who has written about a fundamentalist Christian religious cult he was once part of, recommended this book. My only regret is that I had never read it before.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in religious cults. Even though I like to think I've read just about all the nutty things that can happen inside religious cults, this book stunned me.”
