Product Description

Ingram

"The biggest sci-fi cult novel to come along since Dune."--The Village Voice. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From the Publisher

Filled with sex and violence--in and out of time and space--the three books of The Illuminatus are only partly works of the imagination. They tackle all the coverups of our time--from who really shot the Kennedys to why there's a pyramid on a one-dollar bill. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a good book, Jun 12 2004
By A Customer
This is a hard book to get started on. When I first started reading this book I got a hundred pages into it and set it down for 6 months. I did this two more times. After about 2 years, I was in between jobs and had enough time to devote myself to reading it. Reading this book is like looking at Finnegen's Wake for the first time. It is a good book that needs time, patience and a little understaning. Treat it like a new puppy and you will watch it grow up in front of your eyes. There are many drug and sexual references in it but they are to be taken light heartedly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing., Sep 29 2003
By A Customer
This book was the strangest thing I have ever read. Hands down. And I've read some weird stuff. That said, I slogged through the first 100 pages not understanding what was going on. After another 100, I was having fun - I still didnt know what was going on, but I was warming to it. By the end I was absolutely hooked. I dont know why, its not really well written, its not really deep or philosophical. Its a fun read, and will keep you wondering about stuff until you're sick of it. But then you'll pick it back up and keep reading because you want to know what ridiculousness happens next. Not for close minded folk. That said, this book will always have a place of honor on my bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy smokes!!!, Jan 15 2009
By S. Hothi - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
WOW this book completely destroyed my mind (in a non bad way). I had to work really hard to keep my focus for the first couple of hundred pages but by the start of the second book i was totally captivated.

If only there was a real life Hagbard Celine...

this book comes highly recommended, in fact this is my #1 most recommended book of all time.

Read it. Get confused by it. Love it
