5.0 out of 5 stars It's a filtering process, Feb 14 2004
By A Customer
From the "FOREWORD: At first sight the book is a jumble of nonsense intended to insult the reader".

It's a filtering process or maybe early target marketing.

Personally this one of my favorite books ever written but it's not for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Kabbalah..., Jan 11 2004
By Amber Turrill (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you've studied Crowley for even a few hours, you'll realize that you're not going to open this book and understand what he was getting at just by reading through the text a few times. This is undoubtedly a work that requires careful consideration of so many implicit elements. To list what you need to consider to get at "the deeper meaning" of this book, I'd have to sit here all day.

The interesting thing about this book is that you don't necessarily have to analyze the text thoroughly (though it's certainly worth it) to get something out of it. Some of the 'poems' evoke a good laugh, some are beautiful and inspiring and can easily become a personal gem of wisdom for the reader (for me, "The Mountaineer".)

When I first started getting into Crowley's writing, a friend recommended starting with the Book of Lies. Other friends naturally scoffed at the recommendation, and insisted I start with The Book of the Law. Now I wish I'd gone with the Book of Lies first, so that I could come back to it after reading other Crowley just to see how far I've come in the Great Work. Even if the Great Work isn't your goal, this book if nothing else is a fantastic conversation piece. I recommend it to not only occultists, but to all book lovers. It's fascinating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand if you read it the right way., Dec 12 2003
If you've read Crowley's other works, this one becomes easier to understand, or at least you'll recognize some references. Largely poetic, humorous, and in many parts very fun to read.
