I liked this one. The information is well cited and time lined, the author kept me decently engaged the whole time, and the information came of pretty unbiased all things considered. He attempted to walk a centrist line and stayed pretty basic lib, but in that I think he failed to address some key pieces of what makes this movement more concerning. Probably good for an overview, especially if you have an interest in cults/cultish groups. Nice section on dealing with loved ones wrapped up in the movement too.
