### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent book about the rise and fall of Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple.
  

*by B***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2024*

Very detailed and informative history of Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple that he created.  It’s a well written story of how Jones was able to form his church and, through his misinformation, lying and brainwashing, was able to convince over 900 people to commit suicide. Very sad and disturbing account, yet very well written.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A Book That Tells the Story Before the Tragic Ending.
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018*

This is a topic that I knew just a small amount about and this book really filled in the details for me.  Like most people, the only part of the story I was really familiar with was the mass suicide/murder at the end.  But this book put it in a context that explains a lot of what these people believed and how they though about the world and about Jones.  The tragic ending takes up less than a third of the book and the author does a good job of starting from the beginning and telling the story of Jones as a child, his marriage to his long suffering wife as well as his early days as a pastor in Indianapolis.  What is so interesting about this story is that if you did not know how it ended you would think that this was the story of a pastor who while a little strange and controlling had dedicated himself to helping the poor and the downtrodden in society and I got the impression that in the end he still felt he was doing this even if it was selfish and misguided in the extreme.  If there is one shortcoming of this book I think it would have been nice to know what Jones's founders thought of him and why did some of them who had been with him since the beginning stay with him.  What was it about his message ( that seemed to be constantly changing) that made it so alluring to some people.  This author does a good job of placing the People's Temple in the context of the thought and political movements of the time especially the parts that talk about Jones's connection to Father Divine and his later involvement in San Francisco politics.  This is a fascinating book and as the author point out it is unfortunate that the only way it is remembered by most people is by a bad joke about "drinking the Kool-aid ( it was actually Flavor-aid).  This book is a fast and interesting read that would interest anyone who would like to know more about the story of Jim Jones and his followers or want insight into the inner workings of a cult works.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Comprehensive book and probably the only one you need to learn about Jim Jones and Jonestown
  

*by E***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2024*

I knew extremely little about Jim Jones, Jonestown, or Peoples Temple before reading this book, so it was nice to get the full story right from the beginning. This book gives a very detailed and wide-ranging look at what was going on with Jim Jones and Peoples Temple and how it all ended and provides the perspective of multiple people who were involved; it's very comprehensive. I can't imagine that I would get a more well-rounded and thorough examination of these topics from another source. That said, the book is quite long and while it might be boring for some people, I found it to be quite readable and engaging. Definitely a very well-written book.
