The work has drawn the highest praise from other eminent writers on Scientology:

William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch): Robert Kaufman has shown great courage in writing this book.

Roy Wallis (The Road to Total Freedom): One of the best accounts ... is Robert Kaufman's amusing, poignant and marvellously insightful account of his experiences in Scientology.

Jon Atack (A Piece of Blue Sky): Kaufman was the first who dared to publish details of the OT levels, and his book remains the best description of the Scientology experience.

Colin Wilson (The Outsider, Encyclopedia of the Occult); I thoroughly enjoyed your book on Scientology, which I thought was witty and brilliantly written as well as being very informative.

Christopher Evans (Cults of Unreason); I have read your extraordinary book. I thought it was brilliantly written, witty and alarming. I think it also an important social document as it gives the views of an `insider turned outsider.'
