Negative Positive
Title: slow going
Review: Smith's book is a classic, and it is cheap - so those are some benefits. However, the book is poorly organized. It does not give you a clear outline in each chapter, and instead bounces around a little too much. The most frustrating part of the book is Smith's clear intention to make all the religions seem as similar as possible. Therefore, I think he sometimes does not give a clear picture, but instead describes the lowest common denominator.Finally, some knowledge of Christianity will be helpful in reading this book. He uses allusions from the Bible in every chapter.
