Historia
While in college in upstate New York, Shay Evans and her best friends met a captivating man who seduced them with a web of lies about the way the world works, bringing them under his thrall. By senior year, Shay and her friend Laurel were the only ones who managed to escape. Now, eight years later, Shay’s built a new life in a tony Texas suburb. But when she hears the horrifying news of Laurel’s death―delivered, of all ways, by her favorite true-crime podcast crusader―she begins to suspect that the past she thought she buried is still very much alive.

Feminist torture porn
Revisado: 10-02-24
Got within the last 2 hours and just had to put it down. This book is a woman getting SAed over and over again. It felt like the author was running down a list of things that feminists care about and every chapter was a new story of this woman experiencing trauma based on it.
Whatever justice payoff there may be at the end of this book is not enticing enough for me to spend another minute hearing about this woman getting groped and smacked around because she’s “a bad girl.”

Good reminders: maybe a little dated

I think there are some good strategies and data in this book. I’d recommend it to most Type A/overachievers on a self actualization journey. However, I do feel like as society slips into more interconnectivity (not to mention the saturation of AI in all fields), some of this stuff has become less helpful.

I enjoy listening to David on podcasts and purchased this book in reference to how earth shattering these reviews were. David normally sounds personable but this book could have been an article written by AI.

At the turn of the 20th century, surrounded by the marvels of the Second Industrial Revolution, he proclaimed himself a prophet and led 200 people out of Chicago and into a new age. Or so he promised.

Wild History, Extremely well researched
Revisado: 09-22-23
I really enjoyed this book even though I listened to it at 1.5x speed (the narrator talks very slow). When looking for further research material, you'll find that this cult's Wikipedia page is barely a paragraph. So this book is really one of the only sources of information unless you want to go into the library of congress. If you enjoy books about spiritualism, religious revivals, and psychic con artists, you'll enjoy it.

I’m glad I read it but won’t recommend it to friends.
Revisado: 08-12-23
Seems like a blog post that was turned into a 7 hour book. Based in western individualism. Contradicting advice: says that it was the authors depressed and suicidal friends responsibility to pull themselves up by their bootstrap and get help but then says college students doing poorly in school cannot be held responsible for their own performance because they’re probably depressed?
Of course we all deserve love, and I understand the intention behind this. But I found this book to be pretty basic.

Historia
It’s the house of their dreams. Former marine Harry and his wife, Sasha, have packed up their life and their golden retriever, Dash, and fled the corporate rat race to live off the land in rural Idaho. Their breathtaking new home sits on more than forty acres of meadow, aspen trees, and pine forest in the Teton Valley. Even if their friends and family think it’s a strange choice for an up-and-coming pair of urban professionals, Harry and Sasha couldn’t be happier about the future they’re building, all by their lonesome.

Not traditionally scary but a decent story
Revisado: 04-27-23
Voice acting is excellent and the story passes the “does the dog die” test. It was more gore than thriller which just isn’t my deal. Found it to be kind of predictable.

Ate it all up in one day. Ending wasn’t what I expected, but I don’t always need things wrapped up in a neat bow. Reminded me a bit of the magnus archives podcast which I loved.

Historia
Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision.

It took me a second to get on board with this book because the first narrator is a little rough. But once I sat into the narrative I devoured it in a couple days.

Historia
Right under the noses of neighbors, clients, spouses, children, and friends, a secret society, simply called School—a cult of snared Manhattan professionals—has been led by the charismatic, sociopathic, and dangerous leader Sharon Gans for decades. Spencer Schneider was recruited in the eighties, and he stayed for more than twenty-three years as his life disintegrated, his self-esteem eroded, and he lined the pockets of Gans and her cult.

Revisado: 01-12-23
I think this book has a solid chronological explanation of how people end up in some cults, why they stay and how they get out. The narrators voice for the cult leader is scrumptious and I love it. If you have a history of sexual assault, there are parts that may be triggering (almost always in reference to the past).
