Cult Following: The Extreme Sects That Capture Our Imaginations—and Take Over Our Lives by J.W. Ocker

3.0

---

As someone who is well-versed in the world of cults, I didn't feel that I really learned anything new from this collection. 

Because Ocker covers such a large number of cults in so few pages, most of what is discussed is a vague summary and can be easily googled - if it's a group you're unfamiliar with as a reader.

With all that being said, I think if one is new to cults, this is a great place to get started to learn more!

I'm not the reader for this one, but I can see others really getting a lot out of it.

Thanks to Quirk Books for the gifted copy!
