Hippies! The War! Poetry! Nixon!

“This is a very raunchy but absolutely brilliant and hilarious hippy book set for the most part in the first couple years of the 1970s, primarily in Berkeley. At first I didn't think I was going to like this, but after I got about half way into Chapter 1, I was completely hooked. I had feared it might be stylistically-derivative of Kerouac and Kesey, but Ratch has his own distinctive voice and take on things. This book makes me homesick for a brand of freedom that is long gone.

“This is a completely wonderful book... You'll love all these crazy characters. Tell all your friends they must read this novel. At a bare minimum it deserves the status of being a major cult hit.”
