I have to agree with Harry here. Hubbard is a bit of a nut job, but I read this book in high school It's a great fast-paced read. No scientology stuff in it. Just good ole-fashioned pulp-like sci-fi.
But for the love of God I'm not even going to pretend that the horrible movie-version of the novel really exists. John Travolta as Terl? Dreadlocks, platform shoes and rubber hands?! Um, no. No. That didn't happen. No.
