Well, it's better than Mazes & Monsters though it shares the same problem: it's overlong for the subject matter. As for the reliability of the author, a character to be sure, I really didn't care going in about its reliability already being familiar with the facts in the tragic Dallas Egbert case. The book is a quick read but does tend to seem to spin its wheels simply to fill space though at times it seems to hit on a moment of genuine suspense here and there. It's simply not worth the time to read though I did like the descriptions of the steam-tunnels where Dear's "suffering" seemed a throw-back to the fiction of R.E. Howard, in a way. The chapter on the D&D game however was an absolute slog though a little funny in certain spots. The book overall is over-long and serves almost entirely as a relic of its time. Its only relevance now is as a footnote in the story of fantasy role-playing games as a part of the ridiculous Satanic-Panic of the 1980s. I cannot recommend this book.… (meer)

Um livro meio tendencioso. O investigador "classico" lidando com um caso fora da "bolha"... É claro que ele demorou na investigação. O livro leva a uma percepção externa de uma "super-conspiração" de gays e gente maluca. Mas, a verdade é um garoto depressivo em um diversão para alimentar suas "fugas" psicologicas. De resto se você tem um bom inglês de ouvido, sugiro ir no site do audible.
E aproveite para ouvir este mesmo livro, com vozes dramaticas. A dramatização, fica comica mesmo em inglês. Faz parecer um daqueles discorey channel programas sobre extraterrestres com um maluco descabelado....kkkkkk… (meer)

wish-fulfillment fantasy, but my favorite actor makes a great villian

Los Angeles, 1938. Il pilota acrobatico Cliff Secord entra casualmente in possesso di uno zaino a razzo sperimentale. L'oggetto è però ricercato dal divo di Hollywood Neville Sinclair, un agente segreto della Germania nazista.
