A review by apattonbooks
The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson, Robert Shea

3.0

As much as an influence as Robert Anton Wilson has had on me I had never read Illuminatus until now. The problems I had with it in my 20's are the same ones I have here where the dialog is rambling and the book skips around to what feels like dozens of story lines at random. While there is a story here, the book it more a collection of moments narrowing down to paragraphs and sometimes sentences that stand along from the overall work.
