Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology by Leah Remini

5.0

Leah is amazing and she really went through it. I listened to the audiobook version and Leah did not disappoint. Some celebs that narrate their own book still sound a bit monotone and Leah sounded exactly how she is, which was really great so we know exactly how she was feeling as she remembered that time of her life. I had watched her docu-series on A&E about leaving scientology but I didn't realize she had written a book. I love her honesty and openness. I am always intrigued when listening to an intelligent person discuss their time in cult-like institutions; we always wonder how did they get sucked in to something so obviously insane - forgetting we're on the outside looking in. Leah is really brave for speaking out so boldly against a wealthy and dangerous institution. I applaud her for speaking out and being a place of support for those who previously left and are leaving. I hope we someday find out what happened t0 Shelly, too.
