So the first thing I'll say is that this book was copyrighted in 1995. The material is dated. The flow of the whole text is a bit disjointed.
That being said, there were some bits I enjoyed--especially the one quote that can sum up what this book attempted to describe. "Chaos Magic is not about discarding all rules and restraints, but the process of discovering the most effective guidelines and disciplines which enable you to effect change in the world." [pg 37].
I am glad I read this, but would like to explore more recent materials written on chaos magic!

This book reads like if the guy writing the instructional setup manual to your soundbar was trying to be funny and charismatic.
Any good ideas or interesting concepts are bogged down by technical and spiritual gobbledygook that reads thick and obtuse. I went into this book wanting to open my mind up to interesting concepts, but it was like taking a college course taught by a boring old dude.
