Fascinating and extremely well researched！ Sommer keeps the emotions in check， allowing for an objective view inside the curtain。

I love Will Sommer and was so excited for the book to come out。 If you're like me and have already read the many books previously released on Q-anon， there isn't a whole lot that's new。 If you haven't， I think it's a great primer。 I love Will Sommer and was so excited for the book to come out。 If you're like me and have already read the many books previously released on Q-anon， there isn't a whole lot that's new。 If you haven't， I think it's a great primer。 。。。more

Not the definitive account I'd hoped for。 Ultimately reads like cobbled together articles from the Daily Beast， which of course， it is。 While Sommer does cite some interesting studies and input from authorities on conspiracy， the book is too pedestrian and breezy for such a massive topic。 Only toward the end does Sommer begin to drink deep of the madness， recounting the pathetic ballad of "Baby Q"。 Needed more deep cuts like that。 QAnon is a plot that's been marinating for millions of man-hours Not the definitive account I'd hoped for。 Ultimately reads like cobbled together articles from the Daily Beast， which of course， it is。 While Sommer does cite some interesting studies and input from authorities on conspiracy， the book is too pedestrian and breezy for such a massive topic。 Only toward the end does Sommer begin to drink deep of the madness， recounting the pathetic ballad of "Baby Q"。 Needed more deep cuts like that。 QAnon is a plot that's been marinating for millions of man-hours in some of the dankest depths of the internet。 Weirdness beyond what makes it into the New York Times on a regular basis barely bubbles to the surface in this accounting。 Casual enthusiasts of the conspiracy won't find much here they didn't already skim elsewhere。（Sommer does include some thoughtful and well-reported personal accounts of QAnon victims--the family members of Q acoyltes。 I enjoyed reading these， but again， was left hoping for a bit more） 。。。more

As a sociologist with a fascination for cults and conspiracies I am looking forward to devouring this one。 Thank you Harper for the copy！Review to come。

As someone who loves learning about cults， conspiracy theories， and mass delusions in general， I thought this was a great breakdown of the proliferation of Qanon and the long-term effects on American politics。 This is a great read for anyone affected by loved ones consumed by something that seemed so ridiculous and dangerous。
