Is there anything I can say that hasn't already been said about this book? It's hilarious, eye-opening, and a little alarming - remind me never to huff ether. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person over 16 who hadn't read it, but hey, I finally did and it was awesome.

Mostly left me underwhelmed. I didn't hate these guys, despite the obvious jackassery. I didn't really find them that funny, either. This book felt more historically important than compelling. I preferred Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly.
