"Superstitious atheists will find this book toxic. Jonathan Margolis clearly spooked himself writing it and I got an attack of the creeps one night just reading it." - Evening Standard "A brilliant book - nine out of ten." - Channel 4 "A fascinating, unjaded, open-minded account of a great modern puzzle." - Mail on Sunday "An even-handed and assiduously researched work. . . something close to a definitive assessment." - New Statesman
