Overall Rating: DNF
DNF Thoughts: Ruthless by Ron Miscavige just missed the mark. Did not give any real information about his son (not that I expected it would) but honestly after reading it–I can kind of guess where his son gets some of “quirks” from. Ron is not a sympathetic character by any means: admits to hitting his wife, arguing all the time in front of the kids, and some other things. This was more a learn about Ron than Scientology or David. I made 40% and just gave up.

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

Well I guess it does explain a few things about David.
Sorry this wasn’t the story you were looking for. Scientology is something that I don’t understand and I have watched a few shows about it and I still don’t get it.
Nope not for me….your comment about where David got some of his ideology cracked me up
Considering they are leading with the Scientology angle and then they don’t deliver, I would have DNF’d it, too. I would have been more mad about it, though! Don’t market to me one way and give me something else, especially such a seductive subject as Scientology. You’re so nice 🙂
Yea, I got that from the interview I saw of him. I don’t think the apple falls far from that tree. 🙁
So not for me
That is hard to get through. I would DNF this too. I applaud his courage to confess but I’m wondering if even that is self serving…
