Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

4.0

informative medium-paced

I really enjoyed this book. As someone who doesn’t read a lot of non-fiction, I thought this was digestible and kept my interest throughout. I knew almost all of the brands and groups that Montell covered, but this was an interesting dive into the language that surrounds them. I think part of what makes this book work is that it doesn’t go too deep into each example, but readers get the gist of what Montell is talking about and that’s the commercial aspect of it. It kept me interested throughout, I thought it was really well-done.
