If you lived through the changes from 1968 through the early 70s you’ll recognize the social changes and the beginnings of the drug scene in middle class America and the early tragedies it brought. The narrator was excellent and the story touching. My only complaint is the ending. It was abrupt and there was no epilogue. If you are interested in true crime with a sociological bent, this is for you. Not Thompson’s best ( that was Blood and Money), but worth reading.
