Some beautiful language and paragraphs.
Some very hitting and bleak look at hippy culture in 60s 
Some essays more difficult to read than others

Joan Didion crafts every sentence with such precision and concern. I am in love with her writing and, even though I did not enjoy all the essays on the same level, with this collection. I especially enjoyed the last part, which made me nostalgic for places I never even visited. "Goodbye to All That" especially moved me.
