Review: I feel sorry for the people who have not read this choppy yet wonderfully written account of Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters. My dad went to Berkeley during the sixties and he reccomended this book to me. I obviously appreciate the story and writing on another level than my dad because our lives are quite different. It was the perfect book for me to read this summer because I also read Stranger in a Strange Land AND One Flew Over... They both tie into this eye-opening, brain Mal-Functioning masterpiece. It reminded me of Tom Robbins' Another Roadside Attraction (...also a 4 star piece of writing...). However, it frustrated me. I want to live like that so much; it is so appealing. I want to be a boho. A beatnik. But that era has passed. Maybe I will start my own "group". Want to join??? Kidding. Puts a different spin on drugs(el...es...dee,etc.) and why people use them. The popularity of this book is due to both Kesey (his life) and Wolfe (his writing).

Summary: Turn off the computer, and tune in to this mesmerizing tale!
Review: This novel is a devilishly clever read that PUTS YOU as close to the real-life situations it depicts as humanly possible. Maybe Tom Wolfe isn't human...and maybe he just fried right along with Kesey & Co. At any rate, this book is an amazing accomplishment, whether or not you've ever experimented with drugs (namely LSD). As an aspiring filmmaker, I honestly would love to direct an in-your-face cinematic version of this epic vision of the 60s.

Summary: One of the best books that I have read!
Review: The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is one of the best books I have ever read! It has totally changed my life. It brought me to a greater understanding of what went on in the 1960's, and has totally turned me on to the time period! I reccomend that everyone read this book, wheather you are into the Hippie scene or not. This is a great book for everyone, those who were kids in the '60's and those who wish they were. I just wish that I was born to see all this! Read the book! Peace:) Alexis

Summary: Boring.
Review: Maybe I cannot appreciate the book at a young age, but it was quite boring. It did have some funny parts, and was interesting. But I had to put it down after a few chapters. Maybe I will pick this up again in a few years (I still have my place bookmarked). I am going to try a few other Wolfes soon though.END

Summary: Too freakin much!!!!!!!!
Review: I can't even begin to articulate the brilliance of Tom Wolfe's novel. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Each and every passage just blew me away. His imagry, his tone, his message, it's one hell of a ride! I couldn't ask for a better time. Speaking from the vantage point of a 16 year old girl born 20 years after the facts of this book, I found myself glued to each page, reading every word, every phrase more than once so as not to miss a single double meaning, a single image. Tom Wolfe is my Shakespeare

Summary: This book is, in essence, a summary of my current life.
Review: I found myself knowing exactly what the pranksters were going through, having myself just come out of the long, seemingly endless tunnel of drug abuse, with a specialization in acid. Anyone who ever felt alone in the world of acid freaks has got to read this. Beyond that, it is all counter-cultures Bible of Honesty to what it all come downs to... you're either on the bus or off it!
