Summary of Mikel Jollett's Hollywood Park

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I drop two classes and get put on academic probation.

I meet some kids from Foothill College at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting off campus.

I change my major from biology to history and psychology.#2 The Game was a method of getting through the hardened defenses of drug addicts, similar to AA, but it was actually a form of brainwashing.

It lasted days, sometimes entire weekends.#3 I wonder about the kids in the orphanage, and where they are and what they're doing.

I wonder if they feel just as bewildered about their place in the world as I do.#4 The theory of attachment states that we base our relationships on the attachments we form with our parents early in life.

The children of Synanon, who were raised in a cult, may have experienced loneliness like shame, as they imagined the reason they were alone was because there was something wrong with them.
