mysterious slow-paced

1.0

Look let me start by warning that like 75 % of this book is about how every religion is a fertility religion and semen is magic, so if like me you wanted to know about cults using magic mushrooms, do not read this book, there's very little of that.
It is nonsense and unless you really like semen-talk it isn't even entertaining nonsense

4.0

This is essentially a published research paper.  It is not a narrative.  The interest is generated in the information itself, not in presentation.  Also, as the subtitle states, it is about Christianity's connections to fertility cults.  So, yes, there are a lot of references to reproductive processes, method, organs and innuendo.  That said, it seems well researched.  The ideas are organized in logical formats and the topic is quite interesting and thought provoking.  I wish I had more people in my circles I could recommend it to.
