emilyacai 's review for:
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
by Tom Wolfe
oof i really wanted to like this! this book deals with such an interesting cast of characters during such an interesting time and somehow i had to fight to get through it. at first, i really liked and appreciated wolfe’s stylistic choices and the way he puts you in the prankster mindset, but it got old quick … mainly because acid heads are so. damn. annoying. it’s hard to go through that for 360ish pages. i did learn a lot, which i enjoyed. i really couldn’t get past the racism and sexism throughout this book. this book treats people of color and women horribly, and to no end. i had to skip through most of chapters 21 to 25 because of it.
