Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones
3.0
This was interesting but fine. It didn't blow me away. I was intrigued all the way through, but it was a little bit of a struggle. Books like this don't usually take me more than a week to finish. I just wasn't always feeling inclined to pick it up.
I enjoyed hearing about her childhood, but I wish we'd gotten more of an overview of the cult. She had basically one chapter on the history and then everything we learned was through her childhood eyes. I wish she'd expanded on the broader view a little more.
It also kind of lost me toward the end. I believe she is a motivational speaker now, in addition to other careers, and the end of the book kind of turned into her selling her ideas on how to empower yourself. I'm sure it's fine if you like that kind of thing, it just wasn't for me.
I dunno. This book was fine. If you're interested in learning what it's like to grow up in a cult, this is a really fantastic book. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but I didn't really love it either.
