Book Reviews of the Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger, Volume II: Down To Earth
Customer Review: A decent follow-up, but nothing outstanding
Summary: 3 Stars
R.A. Wilson's "Cosmic Trigger: The Final Secret of the Illuminati" was a fascinating look at the events leading up to the writing of the classic Illuminatus! Trilogy. An intriguing look at relativism in literature and reality, the first Cosmic Trigger delightfully wove acid, Uncle Al, and conspiracy theories into a head-trip of "cosmic" proportions. Wilson's follow-up, unfortunately, fails to break any new ground.Cosmic Trigger II is an interesting little book, and fun to read in these times of Bush II (Son of Huge Berserk Rebel Warthog? Or Insane Anglo Warlord reborn?). Wilson delves into his childhood, his education, his time in Ireland, his visit to communist East Germany, and yet another fold in his conspiracies- the Knights of Malta and their connections to fascists, the Mob, and the Republican Party.
All in all, CT II is a fun read, but nothing exceptional. If you spy a cheap copy in a used book bin, pick it up for a morning read, but otherwise don't bother.
