Negative Positive
Title: overrated
Review: This was the first book I bought from Amazon, back around '96. I'd read and heard so much about SubGenius from friends and newsfroups that I felt I needed to see it for myself. I'd already read the Principia Discordia and loved it.Well, the Book of the SubGenius is no Principia. The Principia is basically a very simple, fun look at things through a specific Big Joke. SubGenius' Big Joke is complicated and uninteresting, making the rest of its observations much the same.I'm glad I picked it up and that I can catch a lot of slacky references, but unless you just want a grounding in SubGenius jargon, this book is a bit of a waste of time.
Is the review positive or negative?
