Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

3.0

You ever read something and it’s just so LA? Can’t say I’ll read her other stuff, but I learned quite a bit! Reads like a first draft to me and wasn’t actually funny although she thinks she is. Nice ties between Protestant reformation and common life philosophies (mostly of Californians). I love parentheses, but I can see how their over use causes them to lose their punch - by her overuse that is…really loved the chapter on work out cults!
