Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

funny reflective fast-paced

3.0

Amanda Montell writes in a witty, engaging way, and I enjoyed a lot of this book, but honestly it lost a lot of its shine when she referred to Great Expectations as a "rags-to-riches" story. Maybe that sounds silly, it was one sentence, but it is just _so_ wrong that I immediately began to wonder what else she was wrong about and it spoiled the read for me. It's too bad, I think she is very good on Jim Jones and the similarities to Trump.
