Summary: What they are saying....
Review: This is an often enjoyable, well-documented, readable biographical book on Lévi and his influence . . . . A significant book.
-Choice Thomas A. Williams offers to our understanding a knowledge of what the occult is as well as of Eliphas Lévi, one of the most important revivers of the lore and language of the esoteric doctrines. . . . Williams offers useful materials on the Cabala, numerology and the Tarot. . . .
-Christian Scholar's Review Thomas Williams gives us for the first time a well-researched, honest and unbiased biography of one of the giants of occultism. . . . Mr. Williams has done the occult, or psychic, world a service that should be acknowledged by all concerned. . . . We should all stand up and cheer!

Summary: Untill the real thing comes along
Review: To start off with I was disappointed to find so many typo's in this second edition. While annoying it doesn't spoil the reading experience. The extensive use of long sections of quotation from other sources is far worse. This may not be intended as filler material but it does break the flow with unfortuate regularity. There is much in the way of interesting personal information that is not included. This is not difficult to source as I found it easily at a couple of on-line bio's.
The lack of a definitave biogaphy of Levi is a glaring omission in Occult literature. While this book doesn't fill the void it's the only one available. Worth reading untill the real thing comes along.
