Fascinating book filled with drama, hope, and a lot of cursing
Wow, just wow. I've been wanting to read Troublemaker ever since I heard of it. I've liked Leah Remini as an actress and I've always been curious about Scientology. The only thing I knew about it was that Tom Cruise was a Scientologist and that a bunch of Hollywood people were too.

This book is quite interesting and the audiobook was extremely well done. I enjoyed listening to Leah Remini tell her story and it was fascinating to listen to all of the hardships she has undergone. This book is centered around Scientology because Leah Remini grew up in the cult. I honestly loved hearing her tell her story and it is extremely brave of her to come forward with her story.

One thing that has set this book apart is how much of Leah Remini's personality is in it. It made me laugh, look on in horror, and want to cry at times. Remini really doesn't hold back her opinions yet at the same time this book comes off fairly humble. It's a fascinating book filled with drama, hope, and a lot of cursing. It's definitely worth a read/listen.

"I make fun of Scientology and Scientologists in my act, something I’m really proud of since they are a cult and for-profit business dressed up as a religion. But Leah Remini, who is a total badass, took on her former church in this book which I couldn’t put down. Remini really helped me to understand how intricate and deep-rooted the abuses of Scientology are and why they are allowed to persist."

Wow! If I didn't love Leah Remini before, I certainly do now. I found her book to be extremely insightful. I also liked how everything was made easy to understand especially the Scientology terms.

What I love the most about Leah is how real she is. She doesn't hold anything back.

This book isn't just about Scientology. It's about Leah's life. Leah was so honest and truthful in her book, it seemed.

Scientology is a cult. It's a shame how they treated Leah and many of their members and ex members.

I would definitely recommend this book!
