PRAISE FOR DONT CALL IT A CULT Investigative journalist Bermans account is a - photo 1
PRAISE FOR DONT CALL IT A CULT

Investigative journalist Bermans account is a standout. With astute research, court testimonies, and firsthand narratives from inner-circle NXIVM members, she traces the downfall of NXIVM from its roots in Ranieres first failed multi-level marketing company to the trials of each ringleader. Berman demonstrates the tactics cults use to manipulate and control without casting judgment or blame on the victims. Truly gripping, this is the definitive book on NXIVM.

Booklist

Dont Call It A Cult is the most detailed, well-reported, and nuanced look at NXIVMs history, its supporters, and those left destroyed in its wake. If you want to understand NXIVMand other groups like itreading Sarah Bermans account is essential.

Scaachi Koul, author of One Day Well All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter

Sarah Berman is absolutely fearless in Dont Call It a Cult. Her determination to not only tell the difficult, often disturbing story of NXIVM, but tell it right, shines through in every aspect of this gripping book. I simply could not put it down.

Alicia Elliott, author of A Mind Spread Out on the Ground

Berman has crafted a tour-de-force and powerful homage to first-person reportage. A riveting page-turner, Dont Call It a Cult is a must-read for anyone who is fascinated by the long term effects of cult culture, abuse, and pseudoscience.

Lindsay Wong, author of The Woo-Woo

Sarah Bermans reporting on the inner workings of NXIVM and its secret, coercive womens group fully elucidates how scores of incredibly talented, smart young women fell under the spell of a mousy, volleyball-playing con man. Dont Call It a Cult is an incisive, empathetic page-turner.

andrea bennett, author of Like a Boy But Not a Boy

Dont Call It A Cult is a thorough and compelling examination of a terrifying organization. Berman understands and brilliantly conveys the complexity of abuse, assault, and the lasting effects of each, and delivers a book that says as much about human nature as it does about NXIVM. Required reading!

Anne T. Donahue, author of Nobody Cares

Dont Call It a Cult explains Ranieres dark charisma and why so many people were attracted to NXIVM and stayed on, even as the manipulation, exploitation, and abuse got extreme. A thoughtful, deeply reported take on a sensational story, one that I wont soon forget.

Rachel Monroe, author of Savage Appetites

Berman lays bare this longest of cons: lost souls and ambitious young people drawn into NXIVMs vortex of sexual assault, child exploitation, fraud, manipulation, and blackmail. This too-crazy-for-fiction tale is expertly spooled out with journalistic precision and a screenwriters sense of scene and story. I couldnt put it down.

Lorimer Shenher, author of That Lonely Section of Hell and This One Looks Like a Boy
