Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief by Lawrence Wright

dark informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

I picked this up after seeing Top Gun: Maverick and loving Tom Cruise in it and thinking, I need to learn everything I can about Scientology so I don't love him anymore, lol. This is such a great read. I appreciated the amount of time Lawrence Wright spent on L. Ron Hubbard's backstory and how he came up with the framework for Scientology. I also obviously liked the more current-day sections about the celebrity work, especially the weird Cruise stuff. This gave me such comprehensive insight into the evils of Scientology and for that I'm grateful!
