Satan Speaks! Reviews:
Great read for the darkest of us all. 
2009-07-31 - Anton LeVay. What a man he was and what an intellect. The man hardly finsihed high school but he could read Nietzsche and interpret every word. Then, he could go on and bring it into a modern interpretation to our current society. Few have been able to do this nearly as well as Anton.
This book was published after LeVay passed from his body but you can tell where his ideals of eternal life really were. They were in his writings and even though he knew he would not get to enjoy the reactions of others from this tome he knew it was more than fit for public consumption. Thank you Mr. leVay. You're missed but at leaste we still get to enjoy your amazing wit and cleaver Nietzschesk dark humor.
Last book of the author?
2009-07-07 - LeVays last book before he died - some funny stuff, some interesting stuff, different essays that were not published before he died, so the quality is up and down. However, the book does deliver some interesting material.
On the subject of the influence of the author, I read an interesting but rare satanic gem called the Question of Lucifer, about how far Lucifer has penetrated into the upper ranks of power and elite. It was fascinating, and very, very scary, depending on if you are on the White or Black magic side. That book unknowingly exposed some satanic secrets and left a lot open for us to see, more than the author expected - if you are willing to read it. Be warned!
The Question Of Lucifer
A kick butt book!
2008-07-24 - Here LaVey offers his opinions on a wide variety of subjects including social politics, sex, personal hygiene, social conventions, and life in general. Here he presents his opinions often with tongue in cheek humor. Some of his essays are utterly hilarious. Yet, he is often quite serious.
LaVey hated pompousness, arrogance, and self righteousness and all throughout his writings he rips into these with a visciousness and rage that could only come from the devil. Having a high opinion of oneself is one thing, but that form of counterproductive, haughty self righteousness was what he hated most, what he called "The Goodguy Badge."
His essay on stereo was interesting, "Stereo, Scam of the Century." When you read this essay, you might find yourself saying, "Hey, he's got a point." They introduced stereo not to improve the quality of music, but just to sell more record players and playing systems. And how many people really know the difference between a stereo recording and a mono recording of a piece of music anyway? Most of the time they are standing or sitting too far away from the speakers and not between them to even notice the difference.
I myself prefer stereo since I usually do actually sit between the speakers. But I am quite different from most people. And sometimes I have actually noticed that some music really does sound better in mono than in stereo because the sound actually does tend to blend together.
Reading and laughing at his essays, I often think, "He's got a point. I've seen that myself."
Agree with his opinions or disagree, you will have fun reading this book, and learn a few things from an old carny.
Another SATANIST MUST READ!
2008-01-08 - I find myself picking this book up time and time again
full of whit and humor, tongue and cheek of course.
what else would you expect from the great DR. LaVey
Another of Satan's Spiderwebs 
2004-09-02 - If you decide to review Anton's "The Satanic Bible" this would be
an interesting read as well. It gives a further look into Anton's mindset and Frame of Reference. I found him to be a bit morose in his thinking and outlook. Anton's opinion is only one opinion on social commentary - which he was entitled to his opinion. Not everyone would agree with him - but he does make a few good points however. I don't find him totally off base in his thoughts. For the record - Anton did not invent the Church of Satan much against what some would like to believe - A little Research on the subject might suggest different. Bringing it into a more socially acceptable/public forum light might be more accurate. Satan likes and thrives on the uninformed and Satanic Prophets like Anton. 2 Timothy 3:1-5
