Story
This book is part memoir, history, exploration, and critique of the Jehovah's Witness religion. I was born and raised as a Jehovah's Witness. Eventually, I found myself shunned due to actions considered unacceptable by the leaders of the religion at the time. I lost everything except the shirt on my back and the shoes on my feet. I faced a series of personal setbacks as a result of being cut off from childhood friends and family.

Essential Read for Ex-JWs

Great critical analysis of doctrine and hypocrisy.

an amazing history, doctrinal explanation and critical analysis of this high control group. Owen told much of the story as a first-hand survivor, which I am as well, but also told there's no way that would be understood by anyone. I think you should definitely read this book if you're at all interested in learning about this high control group.

it was a very interesting story I'll be it, quite predictable. it was probably also a little bit longer than I needed to be but the performance was spectacular and it was a good read. I recommend it.

as always Stephen King explains very complicated themes and regular day-to-day English. I really like the characters and I really enjoyed this book.

Story
Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a horrific accident when he was seven, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. When Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from that shed.

if you enjoy fantasy, this is a really interesting take on what you expect from fantasy. It's not your typical Stephen King kind of book, but it was a blast to listen to. I definitely suggest it.

I absolutely enjoyed every second of this book. every time I pause it to go to sleep or to do things, I was looking forward to turning it back on. Will Smith is an absolute star and honestly I related to a lot of what he said. there were a lot of parts of this book that reminded me of me. Will, I really hope that a lot of people pick up this book and are moved by it as much as I was. I also really hope that the world does not decide to judge you on one bad decision. you are so much more than that one moment. Love the book, still love you. thank you so much for sharing.

the book was interesting with several twists and turns. The narration was spectacular. I did find the book a little slow at points, but since it was the start of a saga oh, this was expected. All in all, a good read.
