Stars: 1.5
Review by: Mitchie L
I really wanted to like this book. I thought it would be an interesting historical look at the 1960's hippie era. I really had a hard time reading it. The writing style (New Journalism style) tries to make the reader feel like they are experiencing the events that are happening in the book, but I found it confusing, incoherent and tedious. While I think that Ken Kesey is an interesting person, the book glorified some wild times that Ken and the Merry Pranksters had dropping acid. I did not get much insight on the subject or the characters...I guess I am not "on the bus".
