Inside Scientology: The Story of America's Most… by Janet Reitman

A rollercoaster ride through the bizarre world of the infamous religion. It's full of juicy details, crazy stories, and enough Tom Cruise references to make even the most dedicated fan blush. And, despite all the weirdness, Reitman manages to keep a straight face and deliver a thorough and insightful account of the organization. If you're looking for a wild ride and a peek behind the curtain of Scientology, give "Inside Scientology" a read.

Just maybe don't mention it to Tom Cruise.
