Summary: Derivative and disappointing
Comment: Take an amalgam of various Crowleyana, Austin Osman Spare's sigil practices, and an amoral viewpoint, and what do you get? Well, Chaos Magic.... apparently. Personally, I think that if all you're going to do is condense a Golden Dawn training manual for the early sections, rename a few concepts, and introduce sigils you'd be better off just admitting where these practices come from and be done with it. I came to this book expecting something new, and instead found regurgitated Hermeticism. Yes, I'm very disappointed.
For folks out there that have never read much or been interested in magical techniques, this book may provide a suitable starting point. However, for claiming to be a book about chaos, it sure is filled with dogmatic statements, irritating Aeonics (Crowley, again... you'll be saying that all throughout this book if you're anything like me) and presumptuous prophecies about our future world.
Personally, I've found very little of use inside this book. I don't -disagree- with anything in it, and in fact think it probably is an effective magical practice... but Chaos Magic? I think not.

Summary: Amazing book
Comment: Like the title of this review says, this is an amazing book. It's one of the only books I've found that completely cuts away traditional religious and superstitious trappings to reveal the pure essence of magic.
It's true that he does add his own theories and perspectives on certain issues, but I found these to be extremely helpful in understanding the teachings within.
This is a very enlightening book, one of the best occult texts on the market. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anybody who's interested in occultism or magic (not to mention chaos magic).
Rating: 4
Summary: 2 Thumbs up...
Comment: This is an excellent introduction to Chaos Magick... though I have one complaint, not worth mentioning here. Carrol puts in plain words what many other authors try to make more difficult than it should be. However, I recommend researching any words or parts of a ritual you do not understand... to keep from having complications - that you may not understand.
