This book is truly awful. It's an attack on Platinga and Forbes' views (well, and of course Lewis as well) concerning actualism, possibilism, modal realism, and related areas. It is poorly written, the arguments are unconvincing, and the logic, where it occurs, is unmotivated and uninteresting. There is virtually nothing novel to be found in the whole book, though I confess to not having read the *whole* thing. I made it roughly half way, and that was quite unbearable. I even read reviews and went over the stuff that was supposedly interesting, but it turned out just more of the same crap.
The book hardly even deserves a review, except to warn others with a serious interest in metaphysics and good philosophy to avoid it. And with that I shall close.
