Title: Hope for Today In This Novel of Yesteryear
Review: Drug use and abuse is a common enough theme in today's society. Yet Crowley's novel is still compelling for its detailed description of the effects of various drugs on the body and mind over time.The storyline is interesting, and anyone knowing anything of Crowley's life will have fun trying to put real names to the characters (I think Crowley wrote himself into the novel in at least two of the main characters). The cure of addiction is of great importance to many, and Crowley's ideas on the subject are worth considering. The novel also serves as a good introduction to some of the main ideas of Thelema.I think the novel is a brilliant case study of both the psychology leading to addiction, and the recovery process required to achieve a cure.
