We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold.
I first read this novel years ago, and it has been one of my favorites ever since. It is both bizarre and insightful at the same time. It's like watching a car-wreck in slow motion. It's horrible and disturbing, yet I cannot take my eyes away.
If you don't have a problem with drug use, and drug culture, then this is a must read from me. If you are squeamish on either of those, then you will hate this.
