Book Reviews of Masks of the Illuminati
Book Review: Suspenseful up to a point...then it was easy to figure out
Summary: 3 Stars
There will be some spoilers here. I'll provide ample warning.
The author seems to really understand the ins and outs of these secret societies. And he wants you to know it. The style of writing was different from what I've encountered before. And that's ok. A lot of it was long winded. And even that's ok. I know the author would like to me to read every word of the book on which he labored long. But parts of it were as thick as reading all the "begats" in the Bible.
I thought he took a gratuitous shot at the Moral Majority....for what reason? Because it showed the author's age? I doubt 15% of his readers even knew what the Moral Majority was. It was a wasted few sentences and I was a little offended. Not that the author cares, though. If there were a MM secret society that predated the modern MM, then I stand corrected.
But the parts where he wasn't trying out his wacky style out on the reader were quite good and well written. There was enough mystery for me to keep reading. But if his other books utilize this style, I'm afraid I'll have to pass...
1) Pastor Verey (I think that's right): within 2 seconds of meeting him I knew he wasn't who he said he was.
2) The Russian trimming his hedges. I knew immediately who he was.
3) Babcock is deceived over and over again. He is chased around Europe and he is in fear of his life. And then it turns out that the people in the secret society that are chasing him.....really have no occultic powers at all. Which is ok. I get it. But then Babcock wants to continue his training in this...sham. That, my friend, is preposterous. OK. OK. So maybe he got some really good smack or coke. Don't need to join a secret society to get that!!
4) I have a problem keeping track of names sometimes. The use of "Sir John" and "Jones" kept tripping me up and I would interchange them. But that's just me....
generically speaking,
