So far, yes, although I've only gotten as far as the early years of his marriage, before he started preaching. The author is doing a good job of capturing the bizarre, manipulative aspects of Jones' personality.

I've been fascinated by his story since the mass suicide, which occurred while I was in high school. I've read many of the other books, both quickies and well-researched, on The People's Temple.
