Don't Call It a Cult: The Shocking Story of Keith Raniere and the Women of NXIVM by Sarah Berman

dark informative medium-paced

4.0

Disturbing. I didn't know anything about this while it was going on, so it was all new to me. At times when I was reading it, I had to put the book down and read something else. Keith Raniere is Mansonlike and repulsive. It's hard to accept that other women could go along with this. Why don't we ever have female cult leaders with a bunch of men running around as minions who do their bidding no matter how nefarious? (that was sarcasm, I'm not actually advocating that) This book was well written and researched investigative journalism. I thought the author gave the victims a decent platform for their stories to be heard.
