Title: Some interesting thoughts, but barely scratches the surface
Review: When I first saw the book, I was surprised to see how little and/or thin it was. But I thought "quality over quantity." While there are some interesting philosophical thoughts, it is VERY shallow. I thought LaVey would at least be indepth, and insightful, but there's not much new information here, and I don't think anything he wrote hasn't been written before him. Add to that the completely laughable ritualistic descriptions and it's hard to take this book seriously. I mean, I didn't think I could shoot fire from my fingernails after reading the Satanic Bible, but I didn't even get any real insight into man's deepest, darkest thoughts and desires. Maybe in the '60s counter-culture movement this was considered extreme literature, but by today's standards it's not very shocking nor is it very informative.
