5.0 out of 5 stars Reviews that speak, Jun 19 2004
By D. M. Straker "Dave" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Isn't it interesting. Reviews of this book either seem to get one star or lots. One might be forgiven for wondering whether the one-stars are in cults...

Personally, I'm just interesting in persuasion (my site is at changeminds.org) and found the book a surprisingly even-handed and mature text. Given that Hassan has been through the mill himself, he might be forgiven for being hateful towards cults. All I saw was compassion to those who have been harmed.

For the cults (strange word, anyway), he does take pains to point out that they are very varied and that many people are not harmed by many groups that could be called cultish in at least some way. The most harm happens, it seems, is when the vulerable meet the Machiavellian.

The book is also very interesting when used in the context of normal society and organizational groups.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible "book" written by an angered 2yr old., Jun 10 2004
By Jim Thompson (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
If your going to by this book I suggest first paying a friend $12 to have him sit there and lie & complain to you for 4 hours. You'll receive the same entertainment, Steven Hassan is a child, this book should have included finger paints and connect-the-dots chapter.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book was not very well thought out
The book reads as one big whinny excuse as to why the author did some things he's not proud of. Now he says he's some kind of expert. Read it if you want to i guess.
