Understanding Life in a Cult

Anyone who has said, "I don't understand how people can be fooled and join cults" should read Deborah Layton's book. It explains how a person's thoughts can be shaped and changed by one charismatic leader. The book reveals the inner workings and decision making of the group and shows how he was able to manipulate his followers with his belief that "The end justifies the means". By the time I finished the book, I not only knew more about life in The People's Temple, but had empathy for the followers. I highly recommend this book.

Aprapo to the Bin Ladin Group

THIS BOOK SHOULD BE READ BY THE CIA AND FBI to understand the mind of a follower. Layton realized the dangerous way in which her group was heading and escaped only to be NOT BELIEVED by our US government. A powerful story of misplaced trust and it shows the mind frame of those who are involved with Bin Ladin now. THIS IS A MUST READ for all of us!!!! The authors' courage to tell her story honestly is to be commended.

Delightful, in a different way

It was a treat to read this. I lost track of time, space and reality when I entered this other world of devotion. Layton tells a universal story of innocence gone awry. This is one book I will never forget. Very powerful, indeed.

MASTERFUL and CAPTIVATING--not enough stars to add!

The dialogue is superb! Getting into the head of Jim Jones was both frightening and satisfying. The author deserves a metal for bravery under extremely dangerous conditions. I thank Layton for her insight, honesty and amazing courage to write about this all-too-often dismissed, poorly diagnosed and miserably misunderstood historical event.

Very much a wonderful book

I do not speak english so well but I like this book very much. Full of emotion. I feel like I always know all the members of the People's Temple and I was sad at the end when i know that everybody died ... even if I know it from the beginning.
I heard of this writer in my magazine Elle.
