Them: Adventures with Extremists by Jon Ronson

4.0

3.5-to-4, since the different segments/topics are varyingly in-depth. I found this really interesting, and feel a little guilty for feeling like there was something missing in some of the shorter chapters. Ronson is obviously really gutsy in the way he goes about somehow gaining access to people and places who ordinarily refuse it, and situations where he could conceivably be in a fair amount of danger... so it seems unfair to then say "boo, there wasn't enough detail about [crazy thing that included interviews & personal anecdotes]." But sometimes, there wasn't enough! Still: a quick & interesting read that I found myself recommending to a bunch of people as I neared the end.
