内容简介
······
"This is hands-down the best book I’ve read by a former Scientologist.
If you’ve had any interest in the wacky world of Scientology or if you have anyone in your life who struggles with drug addiction or even just under-achievement, buy and read this book. You’ll be glad you did." – Aaron Smith-Levin, Growing up in Scientology
"Scythe Tleppo is a roller coaster ride between these moments of clarity and one shocking scene after another told in brutal detail about the ways Nathan was abused, the ways he abused himself, and his ever downward spiral to homelessness and near-suicidal drug use." – Tony Ortega, The Underground Bunker
"Very powerful and moving. Completely Inspiring. Scientology (like most bullies) will NOT like it the truth being exposed." – Christi Gordon, Children of Scientology
"It is engrossing, heartbreaking and inspiring, depicting a range of abuses and misery that few people have endured while maintaining their sanity, let alone their lives. I can't recommend it enough." – Tara Reile, Scientology and the Aftermath
Scythe Tleppo is an inspirational true story of a boy escaping the clutches of a cult, homelessness, emotional decimation, and rampant drug abuse.
It's a story of surviving on the streets, completely without family, friends or hope – of how to overcome against all odds; of will to carry on.
Born into Scientology, Nathan resisted indoctrination from the start. Eventually he was sent to the cult’s infamously abusive Mace-Kingsley Ranch, at age eight, and again at age fourteen. He was not allowed contact with his family for nearly three years. After finally getting away, his family disowned him.
He lived for seven long years homeless and without hope. Drugs, violence and despair plagued his mind until he was finally able to rise out of the gutter, face his past and live in the present.
From wild LSD experiences to gangs and past life recall, Nathan bears all in this brutally open memoir.

爱其他胜过爱孩子，就会造成一个母亲一个孩子的悲剧。
终于读完了，距离在亚马逊上订购此书已过去四个月。这是我读完的第一本非专业方面的英文书籍，相当吃力，生词一个接一个，为了避免疲劳，我用电脑，手机，kindle换着读。此书对作者的生平描绘的很细致，和Scientist教之间发生的十数年的纠葛让人叹惋。作者被家族无情抛弃，独自被送往农场改造，而后又经年累月的过着街头流浪的生活，干的无非是聚会，吸毒的违法勾当，最后浪子回头，通过搞计算机实现重生。
读完火锅大王的自传，强烈推荐给更多的人。叹为观止。What a life!
感谢Nathan分享的人生故事，我目前正处在个人人生的最低谷，这本书对我帮助很大。看到书最后的歪歪扭扭的童年字迹，我哭了。希望作者身体健康，后面的人生可以万事如意。BTW这本书如果能拍成电影，我个人认为绝不会比《风雨哈佛路》差。
很早之前标记想读，但是之前网上还没有资源。最近有空在youtube上刷到了火锅大王的视频发现he got really emotional and decided to quit making video maybe forever. 大三的时候老师在课堂上给我们看他的视频，之后一直有关注他，他的故事也在他的视频中谈过，没读他的自传之前就觉得他是个非常了不起的人了。今天有空特地搜来看，读罢感叹su…
