The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe

4.0

---

Several times, Wolfe's dull narration caused my attention to wane to the point that I had to put the book down for a few days. This is a fantastic example of an ethnographic/autoethnographic (I am uncertain of Wolfe's level of participation) text and, though I am far from an authority on the matter, I feel safe in proclaiming this the quintessential book on the Hippie movement.
