dark informative mysterious sad medium-paced

I picked this book up hoping to learn more than I did about QAnon... and honestly, I didn't learn too many new things. I learned about some of the violent attacks before the Insurrection on January 6, 2021, but the basics this book covers I already knew. 

That's not to say this is a bad read. It's actually pretty decent. I would recommend this to people who aren't into podcasts (which I would recommend And That's Why We Drink's episodes on Q [Em did a 3 part series on everything QAnon]), but don't want to look it up on the internet and accidentally fall into this conspiracy theory/cult. It's a good basic understanding of Q, who they are, and why so many people fell for it. 

It doesn't dive too much into the cult aspects (I'd say it would equal to about a chapter and a half's worth of content), but doesn't shy away from saying that it's a cult. 

Overall, not a bad first introduction to QAnon/weird cult stuff/true crime, but if you've been following the story, listen to a podcast or documentary about it, you'll probably want to skip out on this one.
