4.0 out of 5 stars Fast Pace and Interesting Book, June 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Conspiracies and Cover-Ups (Paperback)

This book contains a lot of information. The author (I think) I did a good of sticking to the points concerning each conspiracy listed in each chapter. The book is interesting to read and the author's comments (reflecting his views) are quite funny. For this author, the book was obviously not long enough to write all the facts he wanted to convey to the readers. The book contains a wide range of different categories of conspiracies (which I thought was good about the book).

Thus, reading the book was fast pace. How much of the information was true - I could not tell you, but it did me something to think about. This is the 21st century and there is a lot of money and technology out there to be had and shared. A lot of power for one person/group who can get a hold of it - makes for an interesting concept. What they do with it, is another concept.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sane review of insane myths and realities, June 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Conspiracies and Cover-Ups (Paperback)

Fascinating and sometimes disturbing overview of cynical government, military, and corporate worlds as well as discussion of substance and myth in outlandish conspiracy theories. Fun and worthwhile with some shocking truths and some very tentative possibilities. Quick, fun read that leaves you wanting more while also wishing some truths would "go away". Give it to anyone who should not enlist in the armed services and to all who believe 'everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds' like Pangloss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary Stuff But Sure Kept Me Turning The Pages, July 22, 2002

This review is from: Conspiracies and Cover-Ups (Paperback)

Conspiracies and Coverups is one of the scariest books I've ever read. Frankly I find some of it too hard to believe, especially some of the darker revelations about alien beings made by the author... Listen, don't read this book if you get scared easily or are prone to having nightmares, because it really has some shocking parts that can start you looking over your shoulder and keep you awake at night.
