Title: Not more Hubbard!
Review: I refused to read L. Ron Hubbard long, long before I ever knew what Scientology was. I stumbled across some claptrap or other with his name on it, said "Awful" and went back to Bradbury, Asimov, Vonnegut and Heinlein. I tried to read this tome, I really did, but it was just terrible. Hubbard might have been really innovative in the 30s and 40s, but compared with the greats who have come after, he's nothing special. This particular work was, like everything else with his name on it, an overblown, confused, chaotic mass of STUFF--not one page of which made any sense. I gave it about six chapters and never did get hooked. If you want classic SF, spend your money on one of the great names of the genre. Shut your eyes and pick out a Robert Heinlein book. You will be much better satisfied.
