Candy by Mason Hoffenberg, Terry Southern
3.0
(Longer review is coming)
I've wanted to read Southern's books for a while, and finally got around to finishing this and The Magic Christian. I found both quite disappointing, especially this one. I knew to expect graphic content, but I didn't find Candy or other characters very likable. It's hardly titillating, but perhaps that is the point. Basically Candy bounces from man to man (or on top of) appearing as though she doesn't realize what she's doing.
If you're interested in 60s counterculture, this is probably on your list.
