Rating:  Summary: Hyperventilating, paranoid conspiracy theorist twaddle Review: Here's the premise: a >100-year old fraternity at Yale has been carefully selecting young men for initiation into a super-secret organization determined to penetrated the CIA, The White House, Wall Street, Hollywood, and other organs of social control. Once there, these recruits employ Hegelian dialectic to pursue their nefarious means, regardless of their duty to God, the Constitution, the law, etc, and as a reward reap money, free prostitutes at a private island on the US/Canadian border (Deer Island), and political protection from the law.Uh huh. And Santa Claus uses his GPS system to locate bad little boys and girls. If this kind of book appeals to you, I'll bet your book shelf is creaking under the weight of all the Ruth Montgomery alien books and Area 51 revelations. Get a girlfriend and get a life!

Rating:  Summary: WoW!!! Review: I have read a couple other articles/books about skull & bones and am looking forward to reading this one! From what I heard on the radio interview with Kris Millegan, it sounds like the book will be very interesting!

Rating:  Summary: Best book on Bones thus far Review: In the midst of a 2004 presidential race in which the media are oblivious to the Bones in both candidates' closets, Kris Millegan's "Fleshing Out Skull and Bones" is a superb antidote to the reigning agnosticism concerning the Yale secret society. This book is anything but "twaddle." The essay by Steve Sewall, son of Yale's distinguished Dean Richard B. Sewall, the preeminent biographer of Emily Dickinson, is indicative of the measured and sophisticated tenor of this anthology, which does not pretend to "unlock the key to the mystery of S&B," but is instead an informed, profusely illustrated sourcebook and rumination, sustained by Millegan's restrained reportage, quirky intellect and unrestrained candor.
"Fleshing Out" doesn't "solve" all the mysteries, but it is indispensable as a groundwork for pursuing one of the Cryptocracy's nodal points for the dispensation of patronage and the recruitment of the "best and brightest" (though GW Bush was patently recruited for other reasons). For the aspiring sleuth, the case starts here.

Rating:  Summary: Capitalizing on stupidity Review: It's funny to watch fame-driven scandalous reporters write exposes in America. Most recently, there was the Fahrenheit 911, an alleged expose of President Bush. Upon a closer examination, the film's collage of footage and the conclusions derived therefrom were mostly meaningless. Similarly with this book. The book comes up with assorted and scandalous-sounding allegations. However, anyone with a reasonable mind and keen perception will come to question most of it. What I most certainly do not doubt is that the author, more than any secret societies, is seeking to gain money and the opposite sex's attention, something that a scandalous 'expose' will doubtlessly accomplish.

Rating:  Summary: No reviews??? Review: This book was released in September, 2003, its author is scheduled to be interviewed on Coast 2 Coast, and yet here we are, four months after publication, and no customer reviews? What conspiracy is afoot, especially inside the walls of amazon.com? And what connections does amazon.com have with this secret society? Remember, just ten months until one Skull & Bones member (Bush) runs for President against another (Kerry).
