The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple

For anyone who knows me, you know I am a true crime queen hell my best friend can tell you I yell at my books while I read them half the time. Some of the things that have transpired in the world we live and has been printed on paper is horrifying. That being said I wish to thank NetGalley Simon and Schuster for my advanced copy of. The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple by Jeff Guinn. This book made me feel like I was back in college in one of my Psychology classes trying to figure out the mindset of a killer and I loved it. This book will stay with you long after you are done reading it and it is worth the time, it is very well researched and well put together that you get a crazy insight of Jim Jones but you get a good sense of the broken people that fallow him. I don't say that lightly or with any disrespect it just saddens me to see that so many people fallowed such a crazy man to have a place to fit in and feel wanted. The author does a remarkable job of laying out the slow transformation of Jim Jones, from weird kid with a true devotion to social justice to the 47-year-old cult leader who murdered more than 900 of his followers. I don't know how many ways I can praise this book other than to say it's a must read for true crime lovers.
