Review by Sammijo93 -- The Cult Next Door
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Cult Next Door" by Elizabeth R. Burchard, Judith L. Carlone.]
I finished reading The Cult Next Door by Elizabeth R. Burchard and Judith L. Carlone. The book is icy in a sense of pure thrill ride. I found the details of Burchard's life simply astounding. You are immediately drawn into a world of cultism. Dark and foreboding, the climactic elements form a picture of pure evil.
I give the novel 4 out of 4. Overall, you see many faces of modern despair that leads to a promise of salvation on Earth; George. This character creation of this book resembles that of the novel, The Omen. You see a tale of sorrow mixed with edge of your seat thriller. As with many cults, you find the tale to evolve around worship of a being made of flesh with ideals of dramatic other worldly powers.
Remarkably, there is a seductiveness that pulls the characters into their prophet's hand. This book shows many pages of sexual scenarios throughout. The reading goes to describe in detail some adult situations that are not suitable to young audiences. There is as a need for a trigger warning to be issued as there is much violence referenced throughout the plotline. A need for power drives the character, George. I found no major errors in grammar in this novel; flawless execution and perfect editing throughout!
As a whole, the novel treads on territory showing government and politics as having been influenced by the cult. The main focus, Burchard, meets the right person at the right time and faces the opposing force head on. In the chapters, you see the female character's development resembling that of heroic, historic proportion. I love the overall development of a weak willed human into a successful woman contained in less than 300 pages.
I encourage many to read this work of nonfiction, no matter their personal view on cultism. This is truly an eye opener and will hook readers from the very beginning. After reading this book, I have a newfound respect for those who have escaped a controlling environment. Burchard shows immense courage when writing a tale such as this. Many may not believe but those that take in every word will see (written) a twisted tale of provocative passion and chilling adversion to the normal human ways, also known as us Crazy People.
