Иллюминатуса! Офигительная книга, читал прямо запоем. Причем, действие книги заканчивается 1ого мая, а я закончил ее читать второго мая. и пишу это третьего мая. Май - пятый месяц. The Law of Fives! Hail Eris!
А вот рецензия на эту книжку, которая является частью ее самой:
"It's a dreadfully long monster of a book," Wildeblood says pettishly, "and I certainly won't have time to read it, but I'm giving it a thorough skimming. The authors are utterly incompetent-no sense of style or structure at all. It starts out as a detective story, switches to science-fiction, then goes off into the supernatural, and is full of the most detailed information of dozens of ghastly boring subjects. And the time sequence is all out of order in a very pretentious imitation of Faulkner and Joyce. Worst yet, it has the most raunchy sex scenes, thrown in just to make it sell, I'm sure, and the authors-whom I've never heard of-have the supreme bad taste to introduce real political figures into this mishmash and pretend to be exposing a real conspiracy. . . .
"Heavens, I wouldn't know for sure. I told you yesterday, it's absurdly long. Three volumes, in fact. Boring as hell. I only had time to skim it. But listen to this, dear boy: 'If The Lord of the Rings is a fairy tale for adults, sophisticated readers will quickly recognize this monumental miscarriage as a fairy tale for paranoids.' That refers to the ridiculous conspiracy theory that the plot, if there is one, seems to revolve around. Nicely worded, wouldn't you say?"
All hail Discordia - go read this book!
