The Anarchist Cookbook

Rating:
Summary: Just some words
Review: Well, although this book is a bit of a legend, I find it nearly useless. Any information in this book can be found on the internet or many other books. Either case can be cheaper, by far. There are many books that can be bought at maybe 10 dollars, holding at least half the information in TAC, with twice the accuracy on the subjects under discussion.

Summary: This book is a classic.
Review: I am not an avid reader, but this book was so fun to read I had trouble putting it down. It taught me everything I will ever need to know in life.

Rating:
Summary: A good one.
Review: This cookbook was conceived by a real anarchist. I'm an ameture anarchist, but i give this a two thumbs up.

Summary: Interesting and fun
Review: The Anarchist Cookbook is a classic piece of literature among the "underworld". Even though it is an extremely outdated book, with a copyright of 1972 it is still fun and intersing to read. As a question to everyone who might read this, or if the author (crossing finegrs) can see this. Has anyone ever thought about writing and publishing an updated version?...1999!! Something to think about, could make some goo d money. PLEASE BRING US ANOTHER ONE!!

Summary: Just good, clean, first ammendment, all-American literature
Review: Sure this book is outdated-look at when it was written. And considering when it was written, one should appreciate the socio-political commentary that the book actually is and not look at it as a manual to destroy. This book is literature surrounded by crudely drawn diagrams(which add a lot of charm) and quotes from well known figures from throughout history. The more I have read the A.C., the more I have come to fully appreciate it's merits.

Summary: This is the best book for the stuff of terisum and warfair.
Review: This is the best book you could buy for warfair and all the other things that it contains. If you were interested is that kind of stuff you should get it.

Rating:
Summary: ...Very funny and good to scare people with.
Review: This book doesnt have a large "terrorist" use, but it is good for a load of laughs. Some of the methods in here are terribly funny. Everything from blowing up your friends car to making drugs out of fruit peels. Its just a load of fun.

Summary: inaccurate, but points reader in the right direction
Review: The anarchist cookbook... the mere name implies that the person who buys this book is some psychopathic killer wishing to overthrow the US government. But a word of caution to those who want to try the bomb or drug recipies... They are grossly innacurate. Although I do not have a personal knowledge or experience with very many drugs, I believe my work as an explosives specialist with the US marines makes me a qualified expert on the subj. Here's the deal, the bomb recipies have 90% truth, and 10% error. either the author gives you the whole procedure for making the explosive, but leaves out a key ingredient, or gives all the ingredients, and leaves out a vital portion of the preperation process...causing you to blow yourself up. However as a redeeming value, the cookbook does have very valuable concepts for booby traps, surveilence, etc. Personally, I have it in my library. bottom line: The Anarchist cookbook is NOT a technical manual, but for entertainment and some learning, It's definatly worth the money.

Summary: quit your bickering everybody
Review: It seems everybody loves it or hates. For all of those people who love and hate the book read it without reading the chapter on bombs. That's what gets the most people frightened and the most excited. Some get excited becuase it frightens people.I'm writing this review because I believe that the intelligent youth of America should be represented not just some kid saying this book is cool. Here is some advice read all of it, from the theories and concepts of anarchism to the way to kill a man quickly. Chances are you'll never use the knowledge but it's rather comforting to know it's there. Warning to teens like my self. Don't show off the book when you buy it. Everyone around you will think you are nuts and you give anarchists a bad name. Don't use the book to kill innocent people. Read it but don't blindly follow the ideology. I'm sick of some hyper active punk going out and saying anarchy is the answer. Read the book to help you develop the radical side of your political mind. I'm not a snob or an idiot. I'm 15 and have an IQ well above 165. One final thought: Anarchy is maintained by intelligent responsible people so be intelligent and responsible. It is a good book
