Review # 1 was written on 2015-07-31 00:00:00 Jacob Thiem It's really scary to imagine how many kids did as many drugs as the author did during the heyday of that era. And now it happens too - more than we like to hear about. Her story is captivating and her words draw one into that world she experienced. Worked for McCarthy as a high school teen?!? So impressive - I only had a daisy bumper sticker with his name on it on my car that I was proud to display in my small Midwestern town. The author fell off the earth for a while but managed to scramble her way back into life. I felt the book lost its way a bit with all the drug taking etc while she was at Antioch. Tho, I read this quickly and was entertained by the reminisces of the time. If you remember that time - it's a read worth taking.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-11-22 00:00:00 Martin Rizzo Having devoured Martha's other book, Augusta, Gone!, I was eager for more from this author. I don't think the reviews here wrote do this book justice. I enjoyed it and read it quite quickly. Having grown up during the 90's myself, I found this book to be an interesting experience of growing up in a more innocent time. Though the author was quite wild for her time, she was not alone in her quest for experience, coming of age in the swinging sixties. Yet, always with that flowing and beautiful narrative I loved in her other work. I look forward to more from this author.
