Book Reviews of The Illuminatus! Trilogy: The Eye in the Pyramid, The Golden Apple, Leviathan

Book Review: The first book really sucks you in.
Summary: 4 Stars

I read the Trilogy right after reading 'Gravity's Rainbow.' It was really a breath of fresh air. I found myself easily able to keep up with the multiple plots and characters. It wasn't frustrating...it was fun. It reminds me a lot of some of Philip Dick's work, particularly 'Valis.' The underlying subject matter is serious in nature, and yet it's dealt with in a rather playful fashion and along the lines of a game or puzzle. Don't read this book if you're not at least receptive to the idea that things may not really be as they appear. You'll get bogged down and frustrated, and probably follow the red herrings too literally and seriously. In a way this books seems to be a way for free thinkers to pat each other on the back, wink, and otherwise make themselves the hero or at least take the helm of their own style of adventure story. Who doesn't want to be Celine Hagbard, the guy with all of the answers, bravado, gets the girls, and wins in the end?

I didn't give the book 5 stars b/c 'The Eye in the Pyramid' was so great and the rest of the work didn't live up to it. The middle book kind of seemed flat to me. 'Leviathan' is too heavy to Joe Malik, which I found disappointing. I have no objective criticism of the second two books, which I still think are good, only personal opinion. This is very entertaining read overall.
