I love this book ! Found that choclaholic had it on their wish list, so I am sending it their way ! Enjoy !

Release planned for Wednesday, May 21, 2003 at Sent in mail to Fellow Bookcrosser in Toronto, Ontario Canada.

Will be mailed this week !

I just received this in the mail from Cinel. Thanks for reading my wish list and offering it up to me -- I've wanted to read it ever since I found reviews of it on bookcrossing, describing how funny it is.

Read in June, 2003.

This is a book about how two professional guys (a journalist and a lawyer) spend 5 drugged-out days in Las Vegas in 1971.

It was funny, and I supposed if I were in the right mood it could be very funny. For some reason I wasn't in the mood to immerse myself in the twisted mentality of the completely intoxicated. I guess I've recently met too many adults indulging in recreational drug use -- many of them parents of young children -- and I've seen the effects of that terrible drug-induced logic...

Anyway, I'm releasing it to FlyinFox who has regaled me many a time with his adventures in Vegas of old, and I think he will enjoy the nostalgia of it all.

This book was passed on to me by my wife as she feels I will probably get more out of it than she did. She told me something about the story and stated that maybe it would be nice for me to see what some of my life has been from this side of the fence. Was she referring to the fact that I was once this wild? Maybe.....

Anyway, I will be reading this book fairly shortly as I have other titles I am currently engaged in. I hope to re-release it soon. A big thanks to Cinel for the book!

Well, I tried to get into this book. I really did! I guess everything is perspective. I see that many bookcrossers found the humor in this book. I guess that for me, this book hit a little to close to home. I did drugs for a whole week one night. I even had this type of experience in Vegas however, looking back, I found nothing funny about it. In fact, for me it was quite disturbing because I did see all of those hallucinatory creatures that were described in this book.

I feel that the book was well written because it does describe very accurately what one sees when on Acid and the like. I did not go to excess like the characters in this book. I am amazed that they have survived at all. I just found it disturbing for me. I did enjoy the nostalgic descriptions of the hotels in Vegas that are no longer there.

Released on Saturday, August 09, 2003 at Alley Cat Pizza on Chestnut St in Manchester, New Hampshire USA.

About 12:30 PM, if you go in the entrance, and look to the right, it is near the gumball machines.

The book is still in the wild. Flyinfox dropped it off and it has been picked up so it is no longer here. Whomever picked it up has not journaled it yet.
