A review by missrosymaplemoth
Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

4.0

Informational and educational. Would have rated it higher if it 1. Didn’t trigger my anxiety 2. Didn’t include the author patting herself on the back every few pages for being too good and enlightened to join a cult, & 3. Had regular page formatting instead of a skinny indented body of text.
