As this book's title clearly states, it is about the cult known as Scientology. Scientology was founded in 1954 by L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction writer with an obsession with the Navy. Scientology boasts that it is the world's fastest growing religion, though I am not really sure why people would flock to it. The principals of Scientology are pretty ridiculous for a logical minded person, and all of the things that have come out in the media about the abuses inside the church should make people steer clear. Organized religion has a tendency to be over the top and not about the personal relationship between a person and their god. Organized religion is really about control and money, and this one certainly fits that description. Overall, this book was informative, but I did not learn anything new from it. I was slightly disappointed. If you are just getting into learning about this religion, this may be a good starting point for you. It is a short book with a good deal of information in it. It just wasn't as good as I had hoped.
