dark funny medium-paced

2.5

I honestly don’t know if I liked this book... it was all over the place and quickly moved from funny to maddening, from believable to unlikely, and would quickly jump between places/characters that haven’t been introduced yet

On one hand

it did feel like I was on the drug trip with them

, but it didn’t seem particularly fun... perhaps that’s the point of the book?

I’m less enthusiastic about the book after finding out it is allegedly nonfiction, because frankly it seems very very unlikely- although

If he did even half the drugs he claims then maybe he THINKS that’s how it happened
