Answer :

answer:I saw the documentary but didn’t read the book. The parts about celebrities were not surprising. The parts about L. Ron Hubbard were weird, he seems so weird. The parts about them using their legal expertise to get the government to bend to their whims were sad but not surprising, either. It wasn’t the best documentary. It was a little dry.
