Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology
by Leah Remini
Troublemaker is a combination of two of my reading loves – celebrity tell-all memoirs and books about religious cults. I know Leah primarily from King of Queens and before this book came out, I didn’t even realize she had been a scientologist. Her story is unique because unlike most, if not all of the other celebrity scientologists, she was raised in the church. Even Tom Cruise, poster boy for scientology, is a convert. Leah’s childhood experiences in the church are horrifying but as a child she was helpless and couldn’t leave. As time went on, she became more and more indoctrinated.
Leah is as brash and outspoken as her character Carrie on King of Queens. She doesn’t sugarcoat anything and isn’t afraid to name names and tell it like it is. I loved getting the inside scoop on Tom Cruise’s wedding to Katie Holmes, among other things.
Troublemaker was highly satisfying as both a celebrity tell-all and former cult-member tell-all memoir.
