Product Information
NATIONAL BESTSELLER * NATIONAL BOOK AWARD AND NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FINALIST * From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Looming Tower comes "an utterly necessary story" ( The Wall Street Journal ) that pulls back the curtain on the church of Scientology: one of the most secretive organizations at work today. * The Basis for the HBO Documentary. Scientology presents itself as a scientific approach to spiritual enlightenment, but its practices have long been shrouded in mystery. Now Lawrence Wright--armed with his investigative talents, years of archival research, and more than two hundred personal interviews with current and former Scientologists--uncovers the inner workings of the church. We meet founder L. Ron Hubbard, the highly imaginative but mentally troubled science-fiction writer, and his tough, driven successor, David Miscavige. We go inside their specialized cosmology and language. We learn about the church's legal attacks on the IRS, its vindictive treatment of critics, and its phenomenal wealth. We see the church court celebrities such as Tom Cruise while consigning its clergy to hard labor under billion-year contracts. Through it all, Wright asks what fundamentally comprises a religion, and if Scientology in fact merits this Constitutionally-protected label.

Reviews
"An utterly necessary story. . . . A feat of reporting." -- The Wall Street Journal "Brings a clear-eyed, investigative fearlessness to Scientology . . . a rollicking, if deeply creepy, narrative ride, evidence that truth can be stranger even than science fiction." -- The Washington Post "A hotly compelling read. It's a minutiae-packed book full of wild stories." -- The New York Times "Courageous. . . . Devastating . . . will come as news even to hardened Scientology buffs who follow the Church's every twist and turn." -- The Daily Beast "Essential reading. . . . Lawrence Wright bend[s] over backward to be fair to Scientology. . . . This makes the book's indictment that much more powerful." -- The New York Times Book Review "Not to be read home alone on a stormy night: Going Clear , Lawrence Wright's scary book about Scientology and its influence. . . . It's a true horror story, the most comprehensive among a number of books published on the subject in the past few years, many of them personal accounts by people who have managed to escape or were evicted from the clutches of a group they came to feel was destroying them. . . . Wright's book is a tribute to fact-checkers as well as to his personal courage." -- The New York Review of Books "Insightful, gripping, and ultimately tragic." -- The Boston Globe "A fearless, compelling, exhaustive work of muckraking journalism and a masterpiece of storytelling. . . . A ripping yarn about ego, money, abuse, faith, and the corrupting nature of power when wielded by the wrong people. It's as lurid, pulpy, and preposterous-seeming as anything Hubbard or Haggis ever wrote, but it's much better, because it has the benefit of being true." -- The A.V. Club "Invaluable. . . . Completely and conclusively damning." -- Salon "Who'd have thought a history of religion would offer so many guilty pleasures? Lawrence Wright's enthralling account of Scientology's rise brims with celebrity scandal. To anyone who gets a sugar rush from Hollywood gossip, the chapters on Tom Cruise and John Travolta will feel like eating a case of Ding Dongs." -- Los Angeles Times "Admirably judicious and thoroughly researched. . . . Being Clear is an inducement to darkness and disarray. You may laugh at it at first, but get ready to weep." -- The Guardian (London) "Not only a titillating exposé on the reported 'you're kidding me' aspects of the religion, but a powerful examination of belief itself." -- Entertainment Weekly "A fascinating read, and a chilling one. . . . The power in Wright's book lies as much in his meticulous investigative reporting as in his evenhanded approach." -- Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Absorbing and important. . . . Scrupulous parsing is vintage Wright; his footnotes are as vital as those of any nonfiction writer alive." -- The Plain Dealer "Mr. Wright's reportorial techniques seem impeccable. . . . Lawrence Wright shines a light on a world that prefers to keep its players off stage, and the public in the dark." -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "A powerful piece of reportage. . . . Detailed, intense and at times shocking." -- The Miami Herald "Wholly engrossing stuff." -- The Austin Chronicle "Wright's brave reporting offers an essential reality test. . . . Poses larger questions about the nature of belief." -- Publishers Weekly "Devastating. . . . Wholly compelling. . . . Each page delivers startling facts that need no elaboration." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred) "Jaw-dropping. . . . A fascinating look behind the curtain of an organization whose ambition and influence are often at odds with its secretive ways."-- Booklist, "An utterly necessary story. . . .

Lawrence Wright's enthralling account of Scientology's rise brims with celebrity scandal. To anyone who gets a sugar rush from Hollywood gossip, the chapters on Tom Cruise and John Travolta will feel like eating a case of Ding Dongs." -Evan Wright, The Los Angeles Times "An utterly necessary story . . . A feat of reporting. The story of Scientology is the great white whale of investigative journalism about religion."-Paul Elie, The Wall Street Journal "Wright's account of the church's history and struggles is helpful, admirably fair-minded and, at times, absorbing . . . The book's most intriguing aspect, though is not its treatment of Scientology, in particular, but its raising general questions about the nature of faith and reason and the role of religion in American life." -Troy Jollimore, Chicago Tribune "A wild ride of a page-turner, as enthralling as a paperback thriller . . .I could go on and on, listing Hubbard's tall tales, paranoid delusions and eccentricities, as well as Miscavige's brutalities and tidbits from the famously wacky and decidedly unscientific Scientologist cosmology."-Laura Miller, Salon.com "Insightful, gripping, and ultimately tragic . . . The initial biographical section [about L. Ron Hubbard] could stand as an engrossing book in itself. . . .The second section, "Hollywood," provides the answer to one of the great mysteries of the modern world: What's the deal with Tom Cruise and Scientology?"-Buzzy Jackson, The Boston Globe "A hotly compelling read. It's a minutiae-packed book full of wild stories." -Janet Maslin, The New York Times , A New York Times Notable Book A Best Book of the Year: The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, New York magazine, Slate, Chicago Tribune, Huffington Post, Newsday, Entertainment Weekly, People, The Week, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews A GoodReads Reader''s Choice "An utterly necessary story. . . .
