Summary: Fascinating but hard to follow
Review: The book is a good reference point for those looking into this subject for the first time. While the author provides a lot of information, her style in presenting it leaves something to be desired. The book format is put together in such a way that it makes it difficult for the reader to follow. There are also a lot of errors in grammar like misspelled words and run-on sentences. It seems the author would have noticed this, but I guess he was in a hurry. If you can live with the format then you may want to check it out. However, you may want to try "Encyclopedia of Hell" by Miriam Van Scott.

Summary: Don't let my grade fool you!
Review: This actually is a VERY good book, despite the fact that I only gave it 3 stars. My only problems with the book were:

Format - The format is VERY difficult to follow at first, don't give up on it though. Once you understand how he put the book together, it's not so bad. My other problem with the format was that it's not the most efficient way to present the information.

needless information, or information better placed elsewhere - Admit it, run on sentences with parenthesis all over the place ARE hard to follow. Theres not alot of this, but it's there. Also, acknowledgments and other suggested reading would be better placed together at the back of the book, instead of being scattered throughout the chapter within the material brought forth.

Otherwise, as long as you've either studied this subject before, or are well educated, you can get whatever you need from this book. Once you get past all these distractions it is quite some exceptional reading.

Summary: Definite good buy
Review: this is the best demon book u can find for begineers it covers a lot of the hell hierarchy and not many people can get to know of its rich contents in it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ignorant, frivolous treatment of a fascinating subject
Review: What a shame Leonard Ashley (who has no doubt spent some time looking into his subject) is unable to string an intelligent sentence together. This ridiculously pedestrian book demeans the fascinating subject of demonology through a nauseous trail of sloppy ideas, puerile humour and incongruous, misplaced anecdotes. A work of zero interest to even the most unsophisticated of students.
