Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show by Bethany Joy Lenz

dark reflective slow-paced

3.25

Bethany Joy Lenz was a good narrator, you can tell she's an actress! I think this did a good job of showing how easy it is to be sucked in and manipulated by the types of group shown, one thing after another serves to isolate and condition you into perceiving your situation as normal. I was particularly interested in the brief passage where Lenz draws parallels between the way she manipulated by her church group and the way studios and executives in Hollywood use similar tactics on young actresses. I do think this was overlong - I can understand from a catharsis point of view wanting to set the record straight and really show everything you've gone through but it did drag at times.
