I didn‘t particularly like this book, but I found it written in an interesting way that worked well on audio. I was intrigued enough to look up more about Kesey and the 2011 documentary using some of the Merry Pranksters‘ video footage. I‘m slightly more interested in reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo‘s Nest with this background on the author but still baffled by the idea of a continuous acid trip road trip and parties offering basically free LSD.
This is a strange book, another one I probably never would have picked up without the 1001 list, but at the same time I‘m somewhat intrigued by hearing their crazy escapades. So, in that respect, listening to the audio while I‘m doing other things, like walking in this winter wonderland, is perfect.

Maybe if the library had this one on audio…? But I just can‘t settle into the rhythm of the writing. And I am interested in the concept here, but when the thing I like most about a book is the cover it really isn‘t worth my time.
Such a fun book to read. However, I will admit that I was over it by the last few chapters. Which I think I was almost supposed to feel considering the pranksters were also very much overdone by the end? Great read nonetheless. ✨
I‘m obsessed with the passages in this book. It‘s just all so entertaining. Like listening to a friend tell a really long but awesome story.
This was so not the book for me. The writing style grated on my nerves, I found the hippies on the bus to be selfish, entitled asshats, and the only part I enjoyed at all was when Kinsey tried to fake his own death in such a moronic way. I did achieve in picking something unusual for True Crime Book Club, but I truly regret making people buy this book. Maybe if you enjoy the beat poets or were on the bus you'd like it?

This is not an author I‘ve read or am familiar with but this title and book cover caught my eye 😬
