I would have to rate this book among the best written in the English language. It is captivating, riveting, and deftly portrays two seperate worlds (the world of the occult and the world of drug addiction) with which the greater public is unfamiliar.
Diary of a Drug Fiend is, as is stated very succinctly in the preface, "a true story. It has been rewritten only so far as was necessary to conceal personalities."
I, being a RECOVERED alcohol and cigarette addict, can attest to the workability of this esoteric/exoteric approch to addictions. It is possible to completely reverse an addiction and responsibly handle the substance. I know becouse I tested the theory.
The proposed approch to the problem is a combination of Zen and Taoist meditative techniques, and a thorough recording of your progress in a diary. The individual is encouraged to work with their own body rhythms, and discouraged from ever feeling any guilt. The addiction is the symptom not the actual problem.
Diary of a Drug Fiend takes a very unorthodox approch to a frightening problem.

Aleister Crowley is one of the great unheralded masters of the Enlgish language. Many aspects of his spiritual and philosophical views may leave some people in the dust, however. The mysticism can be perplexing to the average reader. Diary Of A Drug Fiend is successful because it is very easy to understand. The use of language is masterful. It is not a pretty story, to be sure, and many will disagree with the seemingly pro drug message but it is a great tale. Peter Pendragon and Unlimited Lou are presented as both sympathetic and contemptible characters. One feels empahty but it is tainted by the knowledge that they have created their own problems. They are weak. King Lamus almost seems to be like a zen master who patiently guides his pupils to higher heights. I can not say that I agree entirely with the philosophy espoused by King Lamus but it is exhilarating to follow this tale as it unfolds. I am sure many will be offended by Crowleys portrayal of King Lamus as a master who can use and not use drugs with ease. I do not suggest that mastery over heroin or cocaine is easy or even possible but this is just a work of fiction. It should not be taken literally. I do not know if this is meant as a self defense for Crowleys own drug use. It is irrelevent to me. Many great artists were alcoholics or drug addicts. It does not deter my admiration for this spectacularly well written book. Aleister Crowley could have been one of the great novelists had he chosen to pursue that path. This was one of the best reads I had in years.

This is one of the great English language novels of the 20th century. The sheer beauty of language in this book raises it to the level of poetry. A well-told tale, this is probably the one book in which Crowley presents his ideas in something remotely approaching a linear fashion. Even those who have no interest in the occult should find this singular work of English letters worth their time. Can be re-read endlessly.

Volubility enlightens nothingness?
I think this is a rather boring book. The title as well as some other reviews showed promise, but I felt quite disappointed while reading this work. Lesen Sie weiter...

this book is incredible. for me it is holy and it left me, page for page, stunned, charmed, wiser than before and all, in a rush of poetic dream-images.

A very unusual book with a sobering message.
This is definitely Crowley's easiest to read book as it doesn't delve into his usual mystic mumbo-jumbo. Lesen Sie weiter...

Crowley's best written and easiest book to read.
Crowley should have been a novelist. The title is self-explanatory; if not accurate, there were two drug fiends and two diaries. Lesen Sie weiter...
