Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, The

I never realized how much I disliked hippies until I read this book. I've had my fair share of interactions with hippies, but none of said interactions quite put them into perspective like this book did.Fair warning, one might find it a bit overwhelming without being aware of some of the things that happened around the timeline that this book was written. The book itself is extremely well written using a lot of slang from the sixties that you could find hard to follow. There were times where it felt like I was with the Merry Pranksters having my own bad trip.8/10 would read again in a couple of years to rekindle my disdain for hippies.Footnote: The book ends with "We blew it". Surprising. Don't do drugs kids.

The story of the merry pranksters and a veritable treasure trove of references and hat doffs to 60s counterculture and its key characters. Ken Kesey, Neal Cassady, the Dead and a host of other 60s luminaries get on and off the bus in this long strange trip. And just like in all trips like this, the journey is always more important than the destination.

The product is a photocopy of the book.
