 Eddy latest victim of Orthodoxy's talented serial killer. March 5, 1999
Fine rehashing of debunking literature on Eddy. If you are sure you don't like her, here is a good night's reading. Lot's of convincing arguments on a plagarism charge, but little that hasn't been published previously.
 Extremely Factual, A Must for Truth July 8, 1998
The author does an excellent job of presenting historial events not documented elsewhere. The material can be dry but truth is his goal. This book presents the truth of MBE and the movement of Christian Science. Edwin Dakin's book, Mrs. Eddy Doctrine of A Virginal Mind, and Milmine's book on Christian are similar, however I would highly recommend Dakin's book. It reads better than most fiction. There are many surprises and events unknown to many people even devote Christian Scientists. Another EXCELLENT book written by a member of the Christian Science Board of Director's is Bates and Dittemore's The Truth and The Tradition, This Is The ULTIMATE biography. It was written using documents inaccessible to the public from the archives of The Mother Church. It is hard to find but well worth the searching. I recommend it to all even the most devoted Christian Scientist.
 Fascinating subject, but January 13, 1998
rather disappointing reading. Instead of a story telling or narrative style, the author presents his material as if it were evidence in a court of law. Too many extracts of letters & documents. Makes for a persuasive, but unimaginative and dull argument. Also, a little too much editorializing.
