XolokReads reviewed Book of Lies by Aleister Crowley
How could Yeats push this fellow poet down the stairs?
3 stars
The Book of Lies is more readable than The Book of the Law but be aware that Crowley puts some verse in there and it's not great. There's also a point where the narrator (Crowley) writes about Frater Perdabo (also Crowley) getting upset with his imp (also also Crowley.) I think it's meant to be charming, but it comes across as tedious to me for a person to write about themselves in the third person talking to themselves in the third person.
