Interesting book, it gave me a new insight on cults. However, I do have to say it was a bit all over the place and it didn't talk much about language after all.

This was absolutely fantastic and something I could see being a great entry point for readers new to non-fiction and avid non-fiction readers.
Montell's more narrative style was an engaging way to consume a fascinating deep dive into cults, cult like organizations, and the language that ties them all together. The depth and breadth of information in this was great.
This is one of those books where you can't unsee it once you've seen it.

I don’t know how you make a book about cults boring but this one did it 😞

Are you ready to analyze the language of cults? Are you prepared to be astonished by the author's insights? "Clutish" delves deep into the language used by cults, exploring what makes their communication unique and how they manipulate people with words.

I really enjoyed this book. As someone who doesn’t read a lot of non-fiction, I thought this was digestible and kept my interest throughout. I knew almost all of the brands and groups that Montell covered, but this was an interesting dive into the language that surrounds them. I think part of what makes this book work is that it doesn’t go too deep into each example, but readers get the gist of what Montell is talking about and that’s the commercial aspect of it. It kept me interested throughout, I thought it was really well-done.
