This is one of the hardest reviews I've ever written because frankly I don't know where to start. This books is, well, insane as I suspect Downard is err was. I think the opening of the book pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the read, and no I won't tell you what it is.
All I can say is that this is the most paranoid, engrossing and bizarre book I've ever read. And let me add this book is not for everyone. Many people will be disturbed by the violence committed by Downard is a child, and frankly I was as well but this book is jsut so strange as is the world Downard lived in. To be honest I don't even have a classification for this. Is it good, bad, right, wrong I don't know...it's just strange.
I wish I could write more but this book is bizarre and I'm really just at a loss for words. I marked it good because it is engrossing, but its like a train wreck vs. an informational book. But if your into Downard, or conspiracies read it. He gets involved in every major one I can think of.
