What makes “cults” so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we’re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join - and more importantly, stay in - extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell’s argument is that, on some level, it already has.

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

The world will end on Saturday. Next Saturday. Just before dinner, according to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing and everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.

Satisfactory casual listen, like hitchhikers guide
Revisado: 12-07-18
Entertaining story, flows like how hitch hikers guide to the Galaxy flows. Nothing too gripping in the story so makes for a casual listen. Probably easier to understand if you're reading the book, you have to listen closely to understand everything that's said because it jumps around a lot (which all comes together in the end), but on the same note, you can tune out a bit and still be able to follow along when you tune back in.

The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

It's a cool book to listen to in-between more intense series. Really neat science fiction ideas on how another intelligent species can evolve and how species can be manipulated.

Easy, good story to listen to for runners.
Revisado: 11-09-17
Easy, good story to listen to for runners; especially runners who like travel stories too. While not an encyclopedia of running cultures and philosophies, she does a really good job describing the running scenes of the places she visited. Interesting to hear about the different ways people take interest in the sport.

Excellent, a continuation from the first book and equally as entertaining if not more. Here's some more words to meet the quota for the review length.

This is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man's search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.

Better than the average fantasy story
Revisado: 02-13-17
This story is definitely better than the average fantasy book. You can tell there's a well defined world underneath and that definition really helps to draw you in and make the story believable. This is the only fantasy story on Audible I've listened to that I would consider listening to again.

Good for a nice, easy light-macabre story
Revisado: 10-21-16
This is an easy, kind of fun story to listen to. It would be a light kids movie in the same genre as Harry Potter if it was ever made into a movie.
