(C) Irrespective of how other writers regard LRH's body of work, I thought this was an entertaining & spiritually harmless book. (D) My review expresses nothing but my opinion of this particular book. (E) Writing for a non-sectarian site, I could only say so much about LRH's religion, but within those limits I think I adequately distanced myself from it. (F) See my reviews of Philip Pullman, Terry Goodkind, Michael Stackpole, and Michael Gruber. I regularly and carefully draw a distinction between evaluating books as literature and responding to their spirituality. I don't think anyone reading these reviews can be mistaken as to whether or not I am promoting their spirituality.RobbieFishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112535005437118728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988509909991606880.post-8854088521854654762008-04-30T07:58:00.000-06:002008-04-30T07:58:00.000-06:00The sad thing about your post is that you reveal y...The sad thing about your post is that you reveal your lack of intelligence and insight, to claim L.Ron Hubburd's work is good is one thing but to ignore his crimes and the fact he started a dangerous cult that extorts people of their life savings is also ignorant. Hitler was a good writer but lets not give him any credit because he was a lunatic, a madman and a stain on human history. L.R.H. falls into that same category. Go back to school and then re read Frank's work. And while you do that, find out more about your hero L.Ron and learn about how he has ruined the lives of thousands of people all for a heavy profit. Also consider that nearly all science fiction critics agree that L.R.H is a mediocre writer at best. Most consider him a hack and a mentally deranged individual.<BR/><BR/>www.xenu.net<BR/>http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Library/Shelf/miller/bfmindex.htm6foot3https://www.blogger.com/profile/01316266596830673525noreply@blogger.com
