 - SLONIM WOODS 9 is a firsthand account of how someone might unknowingly fall in with a cult. We follow Levin as he sinks further and further in, trapped before he even realizes it.
- It was fascinating and horrifying to see his internal monologue on the page, and how quickly things can go from going along to be polite to unable to say no to wildly horrific abuse in ways that make no logical sense to outsiders but seems perfectly normal to the cult members.
- I assume this is a result of Levin still working through his experiences, but much of this book felt really detached. Levin writes himself as having almost no agency or direction or even personality through most of the book, simply floating through life. Though, isn't that what makes someone a good target for a cult leader, I guess?
