Hill's accounts of her time in scientology, training from an early age to be a "good" scientologist is fascinating and heartbreaking - I'm so, so glad she got out but I'm now more disturbed knowing what's happening to those who are still inside. I definitely found this book was slow at points. Hill's account was detailed, but sometimes to the point of being overly detailed or repetitive, but it was still a solid read.
