Heartbreaking

It's such a sad reflection on life that some people will prey on those vulnerable and lost souls. Even knowing the background to this story - who doesn't if they lived in the 70's - to hear it from such a personal perspective really opened my eyes to so much more. I was brought to tears several times, and that's something that rarely happens with me. In fact only two other books have ever done this to me before.

Disturbing and gripping first hand account

A very disturbing and gripping first hand account of the Johnstown massacre. Illustrates the manipulative power of religion

A political story

I'm quite glad I bothered with this. It was worth the trouble.

This was dismissed as a cult, but capitalism has to dismiss and denigrate it's shocking failures, and it's media moguls will always oblige. If people had more meaning and dignity in their lives they wouldn't have followed a shyster like Jim Jones to their deaths. That's what they were looking for, a meaningful and happy life, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I know this was a freebie, but if it had been bundled into one file it would have been a lot easier to listen to, and Audible could probably sell it for a couple of dollars. As it was I had to download it into itunes so it would play in sequence, which was a bit tedious, but it was a freebie so I'm not really complaining.
