A bajkeverő: Túlélni Hollywoodot és a szcientológiát

Leah Remini is unapologetically herself. I love that she is not afraid to speak up and out for herself and others, particularly victims of Scientology. I also appreciated her take on motherhood and her struggle with not enjoying playing with her kids all the time. It was refreshingly honest.

This was a good, quick read. Be warned - there is a lot of profanity, but it gives insight into Scientology which is why I read it.

You will zoom right through this book- partly because of the way Leah has of telling a story - honestly, directly, no nonsense (except for the wise cracks); partly because who knew scientology was so effed up! Well, we all had an idea that it was, but this messed up?? No! Good for her for getting out, and so happy for her that her family went with her.

Highly recommend.

I don't normally rate memoirs but I throughly enjoyed this book. Being able to get an inside look on her journey through this cult was eye-opening and thoroughly entertaining!

I wasn't very familiar with the scientology before reading this book but I was curious about it, and I had seen an interview of Leah Remini on Stephen Coblert's show and it really caught my interest. This book was well written, interesting and pretty terrifying as well.

powerfulanne's review against another edition

This was fun to listen to! Remini narrates it herself, and she's got a great delivery. What's more, she's really willing to dish on all the kookiness and scariness of Scientology (and especially of its most famous practitioner, Tom Cruise). I recommend it to anyone looking to escape this time of stress through reminders that it could be worse -- you could be a Scientologist!

I remember when this book came out and there was the story in People Magazine, and I read a few of her other promotional interviews. I even watched the documentary Going Clear (and read the book) years ago. I also watched a few episodes of the A&E show Leah starred in where she said she was going to expose scientology. I said all of this to say that I've read a ton of scientology and this was more about Leah than scientology. Luckily for me, I was still interested in her life story. I think people hoping for this to be all crazy stories about aliens and Tom Cruise and crazy scientology rituals will be disappointed. However, I think anyone that has ever been disillusioned with their chosen religion for its members and not the practice will sympathize with her story.

I absolutely LOVED this book. Picking an audiobook read by Leah herself was the cherry on top. Her voice MADE this book. Her personality and take-no-bull@#$ attitude comes though so clearly and makes her a real person.
