The UNPERSUADABLES
“Incontrovertibly brilliant.”
—ESQUIRE
“Throws new and salutary light on all our conceits and beliefs. Very valuable, and a great read to boot, this is investigative journalism of the highest order.”
—INDEPENDENT, BOOK OF THE WEEK
“Funny, serious, and richly vivid … Read this book.”
—DAILY TELEGRAPH
“Storr can open chapters like a stage conjurer, and his prose has an easy, laconic style, embracing Jon Ronson’s taste for the fabulously weird and Louis Theroux’s ability to put his subjects at ease. He is a funny and companionable guide … [who] confounds expectations.”
—GUARDIAN
“[Storr] seeks not to mock strange convictions but to get inside the minds of those who hold them. The result is an entertaining journey dotted with some fascinating reportage.”
—THE OBSERVER
