Title: Interesting - NOT for "light" reading
Review: This was an . . . interesting book. Maybe because I am not a practitioner of High Magick, or because I don't know much about Crowley, I had some trouble following it; the plot often meandered away and left us with random ramblings about Magickal theory. That said, it was a most fascinating book, if only to (as Crowley says in his foreward) get a grip on his "diseased imagination." It is obvious the man was a misogynist of the first degree, but for all that it is my understanding he is responsible to a large degree to bringing Magick back into the public eye, so I cannot find it in myself to dislike him overly much. Give it a try if you are interested in High (Ceremonial) Magick and/or Crowley.
