					<description><![CDATA[Bought it, read it, loved it. Well done, Mike. I&#039;ve been a never-in Scn follower since I worked for a green-on-white circa 2005, and I&#039;ve watched your progress with great interest. I&#039;m pleased and proud that you have come so far, and done so much to help others see the light and escape. Chronicling your story has helped me by increasing my understanding of how people get in and how they can get out. 

As a professional writer, I also think it&#039;s a very compelling and well-written narrative. I think the way you talk about people is great -- you aren&#039;t judgmental; you tell what you saw and let people form their own comments. Everyone in the story, including Marty Rathbun, Cathy, and yes, even Miscavige, gets fair treatment. That&#039;s not easy to do especially when one has been through what you have.

You are a good man, Mike!

PS, one thing we never learned -- did you ever manage to quit smoking?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The book, like the man, is honest and true. Thanks Mike.   I believe that the day will soon come for Scientology and Miscavige to receive the Justice they have so long eluded, and I have no doubt your book will hasten its arrival.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I love to read actual books.  I ordered &quot;Billion&quot;  the old-fashioned way from B &#038; N.  Since Monday the 26th I&#039;ve been checking  the mailbox again when I come home at night.   It MUST come by Friday.  This weekend I have special plans.  Turn off my phone and  double lock the doors,  Close all the blinds.  Get in bed,  stay in bed and read this book.  Order in pizza and chinese food.  Can&#039;t wait!  Xenu, don&#039;t let me down!  Get it to me by Friday.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Bought the book today and have not been able to put it down. In between breaks at work, and while at home, even ignoring my husband and telling him to leave me alone so I can read!!!

Don’t worry, he’s gonna be reading it after I do!!

This is great, Mike!! All I can say is well done. This is the book that most likely will be the end of Scn and DM. Who would want to join this cult after what you’ve said and revealed? I certainly wouldn’t if I were fresh off the street into a church.

And also a heartfelt “Thank You”. For someone who experienced Scn as a staff member, this all resonates in regards to the lengths of crazy we had to endure and promote. So so glad to be gone from it!]]></description>
