Summary: The Man Beyond The Moon
Comment: 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.

Summary: Very Smart Man
Comment: 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.

Summary: "The Way of the Tao"
Comment: "The true man of genius deliberately subordinates himself, reduces himself to a negative, and allows his genius to play through him as It will (33)" Good or bad...Crowley shows us that he had a firm understanding of "The Tao" and of the work of Chuang Tzu. Moonchild is a tricky book, but for anyone searching for "the Way that cannot be Wayed," this book may be of interest to you. You may relate to some of the characters and perhaps to the idea that "The Way" trumps over all other forms of Magik. NOTE: read this book with a pen handy caus' you'll underline many a good line.
