I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me a chance at reading this book.

Cults are fascinating, they're up there in terms of true-crime - to understand why people do what they do and what happened that a person or a group could have such a control over someone else. Cults is a book that is based off a podcast by Max Cutler, where he expands upon or brings awareness to six various people / cults that had a great impact on how we view cults.

I feel like in order to enjoy this book one must have little to no knowledge about the cults covered, and are looking for a bite-sized recap of what made them a 'cult'. For me, I knew of all but two of the cults mentioned. I also found the book written almost like a textbook in school or a wiki article. If you're looking for an indepth, recap of the cults mentioned you will not get it from this book.

What is presented is presented fairly, and with references. However, I am a bit at a loss of who this book is for? School? Teenagers? Why write something that is easily grabbed from other websites and or you can read in depth by others mentioned in the book?

I don't know why this book exists and while it is not badly written I think that it was a waste of time.
