Brief Book Review: The Church of Scientology by Hugh B. Urban

A fascinating topic about which the author gives some useful information. He manages to say how afraid he is to take much of a stand either way on many of the controversies of the subject while strongly implying where he stands. Unfortunately, the writing is weak and repetitive. For a scholar, he sure loves the word "ironically." He'd probably think that that was ironic. He enjoys the academic habits of colons (implied or not) and subtitles. He shows emphasis with italics. It feels like the work of a low-level academic. But, you know, interesting as a stepping off point in the topic.

The Church of Scientology by Hugh B. Urban is available at most Half Price Books locations.
