I get that this is a classic and whatnot and understand its importance in terms of commentary on the 60s and transition into the 70s so I don’t feel like I can give this book a low rating.
However, I don’t think I am the right type of person to really love this book. It didn’t change or move me in any way. I’m glad I read it and had the experience but it’s not a book I’ll be going back to or insisting other people read. I feel like the kind of people who really love this book are the kind of people who really loved Wolf of Wallstreet.
Is it bad? No. Was I the target audience? Also probably no.
