Stirring prose, unsparing detail, sometimes harrowing. An excellent memoir.

Amazing. Mikel Jollett's journey from Synanon to the Airborne Toxic Event is incredible and often heart breaking but he tells his story beautifully, and what feels like, very honestly.  

Definitely one to read if you are a fan of his music but also if you have any interest in cults and the damage they can have on the people who don't voluntarily join.
