Summary: The Man Beyond The Moon
Review: Moonchild is a visionary, metaphysical novel of the highest order. Crowley provides an elegant and mysterious exploration of the realms of magick, love and psychology. Reading Crowley's book is like getting equal doses of poetry, academia and enlightenment.In the days long before The Celestine Prophecy and others, metaphysical fiction was raw and edgy but also beautiful and wondrously haunting. Crowley was many men wrapped up into one and certainly a writer of fiction worthy of the highest praise. Wherever you are you crazy shining diamond, we thank you for this book.

Summary: Great book
Review: This book is great fiction. Even if your not into Crowley at all. i lend it out to a co worker once and she liked although she had never heard of crowley before. The use of the English language alone makes it worth reading plus it`s a great story. Just buy it and if you are a student of the occult you will recognize a lot of Crowley`s typical style.

Summary: Quality Reading
Review: This is a novel of quality. I read this as a student at a technical college. It is a novel by the notorious Aleister Crowley about magick and the struggles between light and darkness. Once you can differentiate between fantasy magick like Dungeons & Dragons and real life magick like Wicca you should be fine. You won't find any fireballs or lightning bolts, but good, real life magickal theory. I warn you, this a novel for adults as it contains disturbing content.

Summary: This novel reads like a lecture disguised as fiction
Review: To really appreciate this novel one needs to have a basic understanding of the author's life and philosophies. Many of the events narrated herein are based on actual experineces from Crowley's colourful life, with people like poet Willian Butler Yeats disguised as the Black magician, Gates. Behind the veil of a less than impressive story, Crowley pushes home his philosophy, as well as revealing many interesting insights into the world of Magick, as the author practiced it.

Summary: Occult Slapstick
Review: Yes, there's some wisdom in it as well, but I think this novel reads more like an old slapstick movie. Crowley cleverly makes fun of the fad among the rich at that time: fooling around with the occult. The black magicians are hilarious, the Great Beast at its silliest.
