10/10I honestly do not like L Ron Hubbard very much for his accomplishments, but against all my skepticism about the author, I read this book after an acquaintance recommended it. I was glad I did. This is a huge book. It moves fast. There is a lot events that happen in the book, and it is very entertaining.
1/10Horrible!
1/10This book was unreadable!!!
2/10The author invented a religion as a joke. This is more of the same... It is an advertisment for his fake religion.
1/10Mr. Hubbard barely has the writing skills of a romance writer. This says nothing of his ability to fleece the smiling dupes.
10/10Great book, read it at least 4 times
9/10Loved it, fast paced adventure, brilliant Sci fi fun.unashamedly Macho.
10/10Great read, whatever you think of his religion etc. I've read it twice and thoroughly enjoyed both times. It's fast paced, well crafted, fantastically imagined, and hard to put down. Highly recommend for an easy read.
