I have held a fascination with such subject matters as this for such a long time, so when I got the chance in a cheap book shop to buy this new and in hardback, I thought okay and started to read.
Whilst in some ways I agree with the other sentiments in the other reviews, I personally loved it and was able to recommend its usage in a Theology degree student's essay on a similar subject. And she passed as well with favourable comments from the tutor about using such a book as this.
For the avid fan of all such things, as I am, this is a worthy read. I say it is "remarkable" for I can read into this and see the possibility [only in its merest form] of what the authors are saying.
For someone searching for ideas on the subject matter it is equally rewarding too. And although it may not necessarily cover certain areas, dependent on who is reading/searching etc, it was and is a remarkable read in my opinion.
Once read I then sold mine on ebay and made one heck of a profit as well, so doubly impressed with my hardback copy.
