I don't think the title suits this memoir very well. I didn't know Maria Bamford for her comedy, so the title and cover gave me the impression that this would be about someone who joined multiple cults. While 12-step groups certainly have a rigid structure that can be critiqued, they are not what most people understand as cults. It was interesting to learn about the lesser-known Anonymous groups, but Maria continues to participate in a few, so she's not exposing the groups or anything. The style of humor wasn't my cup of tea. However, I did appreciate Maria's candor, especially regarding the financial side of her comedy career and book deal.

P.S. There is a reference to Krav Maga about 30% in. I'm unsure how intentional this was, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.
