::One thing this review does give me is more appreciation for the skill and effort needed for writing book reviews. It's difficult to do well, and perhaps not everyone can do it. Agreed. But this is Slashdot, not the Economist, New Yorker...you know what I mean.

::It just seems like he didn't bother to proofread the review. He made a comment that it was rushed. But do agree that it is more important to focus on the message then the grammar, syntax, etc.

:::Does anybody still care about Scientology? They do not reveal their membership. But if real estate is an indicator, then they are the kings.

I think a major difference is that if you do not have money to pay for auditing, which is a fundamental part of Scientology, then you can go nowhere. Go to a church/mosque/synagogue/temple without money, and you can still be part of the prayers.
