Review: Best book ever! I would recommend this book to everyone. The quick wit and dark humor mixed with adventure and conspiracies will keep you from putting this book down.

Summary: Where's the ending?
Review: I was very disappointed with this book. Although I liked the characters, and enjoyed many of the situations they were put into (the reason it gets two stars from me), I was quite put off by the writer's clumsy and toothless gimmick of injecting himself - a godlike being, the author - as a character in his own book. Bo-ring! And the ending? There is no ending! Auuugh! Perhaps this is the first book in a trilogy? If not, it's even worse. Don't waste your money. Buy anything from Dan Brown, instead.

Summary: Madcap!
Review: If your sense of humour tends to run to the anti-social, or at least weird, this is a book worth reading. It moves pretty quickly and smoothly, so you barely notice that the novel is almost 500 pages long, and the characters, while all over the place (in more ways than one), range from amusing to downright absurd. Not that that's an insult, since I got the impression this book is supposed to be absurd, and not in a highbrow sense. All in all, if you enjoy manic writing and plenty of strange characters and plots, you should do what Joe Bob Briggs used to recommend on Monstervision: "check it out."

Review: This is probably one of the most interesting books I've read in a long time. It's got the same drug addled absurdity that Robert Anton Wilson is so skilled at creating. When one character is haunted, harrassed and cursed by ancient egyption gods, I felt certain that this disturbed author was on copious amounts of marijuana and alcohol. This is a good thing! There's an edge that makes it unique. If you like Robert Anton Wilson, Umberto Eco or Flann O'Brian you will probably dig this book. It's also loaded with Discordian refrences so if you're into that it adds considerable depth.
