  “A very well written book, one persons journey into and through one of modern history's worst cult mass suicides. How a dream of peace and social change, can lead people down a path that at once seems something wholly different than what lies at the core. Deceit, greed, corruption, and ultimately out right madness. ”

  “Good book. You may wonder why people would have been so involved in such a horrible, cult that ended in mass suicide. this book shows the natural progression of the programming and mind altered states the people went through. a real eye opener especially for those deeeply involved in religion. a cautionary tale...”

  “Great read. Really gave me a good idea of what it was like to be a part of Jim Jones' cult. Very disturbing but very good.”
