Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

How in the world did this become a science fiction "classic?" This is drivel, junk, crap! Is it only Scientologist propoganda that keeps this book in print? I had my doubts about the book as soon as I read the author's introduction. It was the most arrogant, self serving piece of writing I had ever read. Hubbard constantly criticized other authors and books, and he insisted he and his choice few were the only ones who wrote good science fiction. Then I started the book, and I couldn't make it past page 250. I finish almost every book I read, no matter how much I dislike it, but this one I just couldn't continue. The writing is plain bad, written in the style of a high school student. I still gag thinking about it. So please, stay away from this sewer of a book. Maybe it will go out of print soon if you do, making the bookstores a much safer place for the unsuspecting browser.
