Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard.

Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.

While, as such, he presents the culmination of science and spiritual technology as embodied in the religion of Scientology.

Top review from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2011
It's clear (no pun intended) that I am the only non-Scientologist to review this book. It is not even good fiction. There is no pretense of any scientific research or reliance on 'hard fact'. The author simply weaves a story from imagined facts and childlike observations. These banalities are stated forcefully, though, as 'facts'. As you might imagine, some of it resonates with lonely persons who may have self-esteem issues and need some fantasy of this sort to identify with. Many parts of it are ludricous to an uncommon degree. Imagine your own school-aged child writing any chapter and if you would not be moved to at least consider counseling, your child is in some peril.

I read a wide range of books to gain knowledge. I gained knowledge from this book , and would recommend it to anyone
that wants to know more. Every individual will interpret it differently , but it should be read.
