I read this thinking that it was just going to be a description of being on acid. Not at all what it was about. I was enfolded in the 60's (which if I had been born I would have a part of this group of people).
Wolfe a journalist at the time goes on the road with the Merry Pranksters. He writes about a world that is about to change for millions. People just don't know it yet. It is an exciting read, and if your not into hippy culture or you don't think the way that these people do you will never understand what you are reading. Open mindedness is the key.
A well documented story about Ken Kesey as well. I really enjoyed reading this book. I enjoyed the history of the novel and imagined how I would have made it the environment created by the Merry Pranksters.
Also if you are into the Grateful Dead at all there is a small bit about how the two groups were involved for a short period. Excellent read!
