4.0 out of 5 stars Mask predictable, 7 Dec 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Masks of the Illuminati (Paperback)

While enjoyable, Wilson's attempt to be Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with Joyce and Einstein is rather predictable. Mystery, insight and a few puzzles end in a trippy wrapping up conclusion which tries to teach us all a lesson. If you have only read a few of Wilson's books, you may find this insight full. If you have read several of his works, you will rapidly deduce the players and the puzzle. If you have read TOO MUCH Wilson, just reread the Illuminatus! Trilogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy the hype!, 23 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Masks of the Illuminati (Paperback)

The story isn't the point of this book. Everyone can blah blah blah about their metaphysics and whatnot. Just read it, let it help you to see the world in multiple perspectives and you'll be forever grateful. (recommended as the 1st RAW book to read)

4.0 out of 5 stars Not an ordinary conspiracy book, 20 May 2008

By	holdyourlight (Greece) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Masks of the Illuminati (Paperback)

I was restrained before reading this book because I thought (judging by the title) that it was just trying to take advantage of the hype created by Dan Brown with his 2 first books. Boy, I was wrong!!

First things first, this was published at the early '80s , and Dan Brown has surely been influenced somewhat by Wilson's style. This is the first Wilson book I have read, so I can't compare it with others.

I really, really enjoyed Masks of the Illuminati, after all I finished it in less than 5 days. I loved Wilson's unique style, it's so unorthodox. He tells an interesting story with a very unique way.

In a nutshell, this man (john) comes to Einstein and Joys (?) and tells his story of trying to be a member of a secret society parallel to trying to solve a murder/suicide case. Nothing, I mean nothing is as it seems.

There is too much information in this book and I enjoyed every single page of it. Once you grab it, you won't leave it until you've read at least 100 pages.

So, why not 5 stars? Well, there are only a few (a very few) things (books, cds, movies etc) in life that are perfect, aren't they?

All in all, if you made it somehow to this book's page, it means that you're somewhat interested in bying it. Well, think no further, you won't regret it.
