I’m a huge supporter of Leah, Mike & the Aftermath project.
Keep up all the good work Leah!
& you should write another book!

I love New Yorkers. Their blunt commentary and sure-of-themselves attitude, especially spoken aloud in an unmistakable accent, appeals to me — maybe because it’s so far across the spectrum from my more restrained self — but I do have Brooklyn in my blood (thanks, Dad), so there’s that too. I also am FASCINATED by the culture of religious cults. Leah Remini’s book was a page turner (or, in this case, magnetic Audible feature). I was ever eager to hear the next chapter, stunned by the inner workings of Scientology. I feel like the wallflower looking on admirably as the Troublemaker shouts out her honest but controversial story. I loved this book.

I knew I would love Leah, but she managed to impress me further. She unabashedly owns both her flaws and her strengths. You can tell how humble and comfortable she is with herself, because she has no problem lifting up others or highlighting what makes her friends or family great. She also has no problem confronting those with whom she disagrees and saying it exactly like it is, even to the point of being perceived as rude or pissing people off--a quality that I love about New Yorkers.
This book is more about her experience in life and Scientology rather than an introduction to Scientology so if you are unfamiliar I recommend reading some educational materials first (NOT *from* the Church). Her experience with the Church is uncommon in some ways, due to her social and financial status, which makes this books fresh perspective invaluable. My biggest takeaways from this book are that Scientology still SUCKS, Tom Cruise is apparently a gross human being, and Leah is amazing.

I grabbed this while browsing the shelves at my library. I had a mild interest in the inner workings of Scientology and am also open to reading most memoirs. This satisfied my curiosity. I came, I read, I went. Not feeling particularly compelled to give it a rating.

This book was very informative about scientology and all of the demands it puts on its members.
I'm very glad that the author read it so I could hear her emotion, and accent.
It isn't easy to leave something that was so much a part of your life. Bravo for having the guts to write this book. Hopefully it gives someone the strength the need with whatever challenges they're facing

Loved her bravery and story
Started off good but lost my interest about 75% though.
