More like 2 1/2 stars.

This was an okay read but nothing I haven't already read elsewhere or didn't already know about Scientology. Leah seems very bitter ( and rightly so, I guess) but she seems to want to blame David Miscavige and Tom Cruise for some of scientology's more egregious flaws. But the truth is the whole thing is a sham even if LRH policy is followed to the letter. The "tech" is a bunch of hooey made up by a hack science fiction writer. This is a money making enterprise at best and a dangerous cult at worst. The whole thing is a house of cards built on a shifting sand foundation. There is no RELIGION. It's a self help set of introductory courses that anyone would find "helpful" like "how to communicate effectively" that sucks you in, then subsequent courses teach you how to build the trap that you create in your own mind to keep yourself trapped. It is evil.
