Pressman Jossey-Bass, 1997 Thank GOD for this book I always knew my mom could be awful and my dad was passive, and that our household wasn't normal. But because there was no obvious abuse - no alcoholism, no hitting - and my parents paid for sailing lessons and an Ivy League college - I thought my adult problems were unrelated.

Crowley was not as evil as folklore suggests, and he was a lot more intellectually accomplished than his detractors would care to admit. What struck me about this book were the resounding themes in the final chapters. (I don't think this is a suspense-driven book, so I don't see myself as ...             One Child169 reviews Torey L.

As I kept turning the pages, I saw all of the patterns in my own life and then the lightbulb went off and I thought, "That's me!"
