Book Reviews of Schrodinger's Cat Trilogy
Book Review: they're 5 Stars
I don't know why people think that these books will make you insane, they can only open the eyes. I really loved the part where death and taxes become a thing of the past (and the government becomes useful).Book Review: Almost as good as The Illumintus Trilogy
Summary: 5 Stars
While not quite as good as the first trilogy, this one still deserves at least five stars. Insitghtful without being a sermon. Thought provoking without being too heavy. Read it!Book Review: One of RAW's best books to date, a cant put me down
Summary: 5 Stars
A messed up trip through aworld that is so alike to our own, its scarry. If you have read any of his other works, i think you will agree that this one is the best of the best.Book Review: Far beyond Illuminatus!...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the most provocative, most disturbing, most entertaining, most thought-provoking, and most mind-bending book you will ever read. Don't miss it!Book Review: Not an easy read
Summary: 4 Stars
This is not a book you can just read, your really need to pay attention to what is going on and try to understand what is happening. I found this book hilarious. The concept behind this book, as far as I can see, is like the Schrodinger's Cat Theory - which is this: if you are to place a cat in a box / room / enclosed space and put an element in the same enclosed space that could kill the cat in an hour and leave it (for an hour), several universes branch from that point - one in which the cat lives, one in which the cat dies, and an infinite amount of others where other occurances happen (such as the cat escapes or grows wings and turns into a bird - these universes are just not probable). In the same sense, a lot of the characters from the orginal Illuminatus! Trilogy are in this book, but with different personalities - where one universe broke off to create the Illuminatus! Trilogy, another broke off where the characters are totally different and the world is affected by disasters and terrorist groups that aren't even mentioned in the original. I highly reccomend reading this, but as I said - you WILL be lost if you don't pay attention. Very stream of concious, many random occurances (to give you an idea - one of the characters is a midget named Markoff Chaney - for those of you who don't know, a Markov Chain is a randomly occuring set of events - the book is a veritable Markov chain, jumping from character to character on a whim), and a tendency to switch universes mid-paragraph. I would reccomend reading the Illuminatus! Trilogy first, but this should definitly be on your list.
