4.0 out of 5 stars Occult Slapstick, Feb 28 2004
By "toxicomaniac" (Leuven, Belgium) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Man Beyond The Moon, April 10 2003
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Smart Man, Feb 11 2002
By A Customer
Moonchild is a pretty good book. Crowley is an interesting figure. He uses a lot of big words I don't know the meaning of. It is a novel about torn love and the struggle between light and darkness. I think he disguised this book as a novel; he explains a lot of his ideas, magical and philosophical. It was an enjoyable book for me on many levels. I recommend this book to those curious about Crowley, and fantasy as well. The underlying philophical content takes it out of the realm of pure fantasy, but there's a lot of fantasy. One criticism would be the ending is less than spectacular. This was the first novel I've read in years. This should be required text for those interested in the occult.

3.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant yet Poorly Executed
An excellent introduction to Crowley's philosophy and magickal theory, yet lacking in depth and execution of storyline. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Who the hell is George Gamow?
I've read this book at least ten times and I've never seen the name George Gamow before. This is an excellent book. If you are unfamiliar to Magick you will still enjoy it. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book.
I have been an avid fan of Aleister Crowley ever since I heard Ozzy's song Mr. Crowley. This was not the best of his work, but it was written quite well. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Crowley at his finest...
Tons of Magickal theory in the setting of a pretty good story. The ending was a little lax. I underlined about half of the book, so many truths, so little time....

4.0 out of 5 stars Fizzles a little in the end.
Crowley's story is a well constructed thriller. I was somewhat disappointed by the ending (an 8 instead of a 9), but, all in all, I was pleased. Read more
