Title: pompous
Product review: I rarely give up on an informative book covering a topic of interest, but this one bored me to tears. The author seemed more interested in sounding "scholarly" than in conveying any knowledge to his readers. The bombastic assault of his "intellectual superiority" obscured the meaning of his discourse to the point I felt almost like I was reading a legal document. If you are looking for inside knowledge of a secretive society, look elsewhere, because Mr. Mackey isn't talking any more than an active 33rd degree Mason! If I could rate it zero stars I would. I guess it may deserve this one star for the small percentage of readers who enjoy trudging through a morass of verbosity to gather a paragraph worth of information from their intellectual superiors who deem their knowledge worth reams of paper. But, then, who am I & what is my humble opinion worth?
