The first review of A Billion Years just published in Kirkus.
It is a “starred review.” I had no idea what this means. I was thrilled to discover the following:
Only about 10% of the books they review earn a star.
Here is the review:
Something Can Be Done About It
Can’t wait to dive in!
Congrats!
Very inspiring.
I went to our small library to reserve it if they had it. They did and I did. I listen to and enjoy Scientology YouTube offerings. What a great cast of characters denouncing the evil little shrimp-David.
I would love to see his apoplexy. It may give him a bad asthma attack. Wouldn’t that be awful?
Can’t wait!!
That is an awesome and well deserved honor. I knew it would be the best book about Scientology ever published. Your knowledge is unsurpassed on the subject. So excited to get my copy. Thank you for everything you do to help everyone else. You should receive the cash award as well. So proud of you Mike, enjoy the recognition, you deserve it.
Wow, I knew already what a starred review from Kirkus means! Congratulations! I especially like their reference to “zany life improvement courses.” How long before COS launches an attack on Kirkus?
Bravo ! Can’t wait to get my copy . I have always liked your writing style so really looking forward to a book !
AFter 10 years out , I still read your blog first thing every morning , because I don’t want to forget , I don’t ever want to say , like some , “it was not so bad”. It was bad , it is bad .
Wow! Nice review!
So Impressed, amazed and proud of you and all you did to get this book out.
Fantastic!! It’s so good to see your book getting the recognition it so richly deserves!
Way to go Mike!
Kirkus starred review! Wow!
Way to go. Can’t wait for my copy.
What a fantastic review. I am so proud of you, my old friend. I have the Kindle version on order as we sail the South Pacific to Australia right at the beginning of October. I hope you don’t mind but I put together a fun all day shore excursion for the ships passengers and crew. Its called “Rinder the Early Years” It’s only $200, a carton of spanish cigs and they have to buy “The Billion years”. I already got some outrageous requests. They want to see some real live RPFers. (Yes each person gets a silk gray armband – $20 retail) so they can feel part of the experience. They are also hoping that the tour bus with all of them flashing their cameras will entice some OSA dudes to come out and do their thing.
A wonderful review and recognition.
It’s cathartic to read. So much truth coming out.
Hooray!
and thanks
Outstanding!
Where is the podcast?
Some teething problems. Focused on book right now. Will be coming soon…
Human beings have to prioritize. Live with it. (That also goes for the OSA goons reading this.)
As those of us here have been saying all along: You are one of the good guys; you shine truth on the ebil empire; You give yourself less slack than you give the rest of us; And, you move with harmony among your fellow humans.
Kirkus agrees with us.
Amen
