it wouldn't make as much sense unless you actually read one of the books. It really is worth looking at if you ask me. When my friend presented it to me, I thought he was going nuts, but now I still consider him the budha (he really is 'special'). As I read Abduction to the 9th Planet I look out for any flaws I might find, and boy did I find a lot. Everything in the book (and everything in the online faq) is just so far-out, but when I took them back to my friend he disproved all my doubts... after that, I have yet to doubt it's validity. I particularly liked this part in the FAQ:
<< Q. What about skeptical scientists ? What do they say ?
A. Basically, they say that The Book is fiction or even bullshit, until they actually read and study it. One academic resisted for a long time, saying that he does not read paranoia and bullshit. Finally he agreed to read the book, as "science fiction". When asked about his opinion of the book, he answered: ' Well, in my opinion there are 3 possibilities '
It is a lie. In this case I must admit that it is the best lie I have ever come across, and possibly the best lie of the century. It clicks so well with our past and present that it is simply unbelievable.
This guy (Michel) is a literary genius. It is like Einstein+100*J.Verne (my comment: Michel is a farmer with no education and has never written anything before, except letters to his mother)
It is really true
You have to read the book yourself to make your own choice. >>
