This'll probably be my shortest review ever, but this book rocks. It nails the sort of erratic behavior you'd see from a junkie, and transcribes it into a readable format. Perfectly paced, perfectly hilarious. Highly recommend everyone read this unless you hate drugs.

Reading this felt like going on a week-long bender. I think the biggest take-away is that I have zero interest in drugs, because most of his descriptions of the come down from the high sound beyond miserable. A good story, semi-hard to follow due to it's drug-induced flow of narrative, but definitely a classic that everyone should read.

Holy Jesus! Reading this book is like going on an acid trip yourself. Surreal, grotesque, disturbing... and very funny.

Simultaneously loved and hated this. Very rough to get through the language at some points (slurs & violence). It certainly paints a picture of what moving through the 60s to the 70s was like.
