The author ruined the testimonies with his comments
The objective part of the book consists of the testimonies—provided they are true. The terrible part lies in the compiler/author's opinions: unsubstantiated, lacking context, and devoid of evidence regarding the basis for his conclusions. While it is evident that these stem from his own judgments and prejudices—as well as his animosity toward a particular religion and his desire to maintain the absurd rhetoric he has always employed in his other books to advance a cause based solely on opinion rather than proof—he could have spared us his commentary, and the book might have been passable. As it stands, with those opinions included, the book is unacceptable and not worth the trouble. The only reason I finished it was that I had paid for it.
