    • 3/5
      Borderline 3-stars only because I'm in love with that timeframe in the Bay Area. However, I have to say a good deal of the book struck me as confusing and at times just simply bitter. There were moments of poetry, but overall it did not hold up for me.
    • 2/5
      story didn't hold my interest. This surprised me.
    • 4/5
      A trippy, funny novel that moves along at a breakneck pace, going nowhere and everywhere all at once. Wittman Ah Sing, the protagonist, is at times infuriating, but he is a trickster and one can't help but love him.
