Title: An unimpressive work of fiction overall
Review: I wasn't very impressed with this book at all. I've read Lovecraftian books before and been quite amused, but this book plainly states in the introduction that Lovecraft himself denied the existence of the Necronomicon. He just made it all up to sell books, and I dare say that's what happened here, too. I should say that I believe in magic and power and such as that, but I tried several of the invocations listed in the Necronomicon with no results whatsoever. In a sense, the book does provide some insight into Sumerian and Chaldean (Babylonian) mythological background, but surely there are far more reliable sources for this information. Overall, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this volume for any reason. Just go to your local bookstore and read it there.
