I think it was Archbishop Sheen who said that, if the Catholic faith was really as bad as various people said it was, he would hate it too. There's a lot of misinformation bandied about.
I don't know where you're coming from, but because I came to Catholicism from the Episcopal Church (in 2004), I found this particular book from TAN Books extremely helpful.
It was written by Canon Francis Ripley, who headed the Catholic Missionary Society in England for many years - so it is tailored to the Anglican inquirer. It is a little bit old-fashioned (although chapters have been added for Vatican Council II) and it tells it like it is. No watered-down faith here . . .
