I started watching Leah Remini’s documentary on A&E about Scientology and have been fascinated with it. I have a self-admitted fascination with how different faiths work, especially those of a more controversial nature. It was what led me to the library to find this book. And I haven’t been able to ...
I should shelf this book in the horror section... I don't understand how in the world this cult still exists, it is crazy. Why would people go into this willingly? It is totally wacko, and their representatives are even more wackos. That Tom Cruise is some case. Should be in a mental institution. He...
I gave this a 1/2 star bump in recognition of the sheer courage it takes to openly own, in print, to the kind of shortcomings Remini owns up to. As a general rule, I'm not interested in celebrity memoirs; when I think about being rich, I think about how many books I could own, so I fall far short ...
After two romance anthologies that left me feeling pretty cold, I decided to tackle a non-fiction title from my library stack. I meant to just start this book this morning, but couldn't put it down until I finished it. Content wise, it was heartfelt, gossipy, and authentic. Writing quality could hav...
4.5 eye opening stars !I wasn't a fan of her before I listened to this. I've never seen any of her shows. I'm not a TV watcher. When I ended her story I was her fan, not for her acting but for her mouth, her loud never cower attitude. She was beaten down emotionally, publicly, and she slightly bent ...
I love King of Queens. It is a show I've watched often and really enjoy. I knew Leah Remini was a Scientologist but never paid much mind to it. And honestly, I've always been a bit curious about Scientology because - and let's be honest - it is strange.And I decided to read this because I was curiou...
This is the best book I have read this year. I had chills, I cried a little, I felt such terrible sympathy. Leah knows herself very well and pulls no punches. And I have no doubts about her experiences.
To tell you the truth, I didn't plan to read Troublemaker because of all the juicy details of Scientology, but because I genuinely desired to gain more knowledge of Remini as a person, and of her journey through the many pumps of Hollywood and entertaining business.Be still my heart, I did not need ...
If I thought the HBO doc "Going Clear," was illuminating, Troublemaker was more so, only because Leah Remini became a member when she was 9-10 years old (I remember it being 10, but according to Wikipedia it was 9). She subsequently remained a member for 30+ years. I don't remember this in "Going ...
Leah Remini has been through it all and she will never let anyone walk all over her again. In her tell-all book, Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, she discusses growing up in a religion that taught her how to 'clear the planet' and how she still uses some of the positives from LRH...
