First it was a learning tool for me. I didn't know too much about the sarin gas attacks other than they happened on the subway and some people died. When I was in Japan last summer, I saw a wanted poster for three of the cult members involved. But what was the attack about? This book was originally released as two books: one book that comprised interviews of the victims. The second book took a closer look at the cult that was responsible. It was intensely interesting and interestingly written. I would have like more development into the analysis of the Japanese psyche. Some of that was put out there and not developed enough for me. Nonetheless, it was a book well worth reading.
