Negative Positive
Title: Starts good, but lacking overall
Review: This book starts off fairly interesting enough with stories about delusions that captivated societies to the point of delusion. But somewhere along the way, maybe alchemy, the author decided to make expansive listings of people conducting such activities upon a given population. Talk about dry and really not important to the overall concept of the book. Many of these sections could have continued in the telling of a story to accent the main point.While one can dig out the gems in this book, buy this book only if you have time to dig them out. And even then, there are only a few of them.Good book for reference at best, but one not worth all the time for reviewing short burst of interesting reading.
