Review: [Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4948851600). [The StoryGraph](https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/00ede397-d92b-488b-a404-01ca5d9bc405): 1.5 stars. Autobiographies are risky. People fib about themselves, either on purpose or unconsciously. They go in tangents in or to brag or hide. Hall spends a great deal of this book telling us how amazing her birth family is—they stomped all over Europe and she pretended to be an oracle on the moors of Scotland while other kids were in school—when they actually weren’t—they were judgmental and verbally abusive. I didn’t want to spend that much time reading about the Marvelous Mighty Halls, or about how Sands Hall is an Educated Talented Writer. I wanted to read about Scientology’s effect upon a person. I got very little of that in a *quite* long book. I’m returning it to [Audible](https://there-might-be-cupcakes-podcast.ghost.io/added-to-audible/). Side note: I now know all about Sands’ time on Guiding Light, but it’s not in the [IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0356082/). Odd.

Onwards to reading Leah Remini’s book, [Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology](https://bookshop.org/a/6560/9781101886984). I have higher hopes for it. Have you read it?
