Title: Great Acid Trip
Product review: After reading Maxwell's "1983, The Unknown Season", how could I not get to his other book with the title "Sex and Dope Show Saga"? Right! There's nothing like knowing something about an author's life to give the reader some insight into their fiction. It's like the perfect eavesdropping! It took me a bit of time to get into the format that he chose to move his story along, but I was hooked by the "acid trip" page. I laughed so much, it felt that real. But it was Ernie's plight--and to a lesser extent, poor, poor Hook-- who made me want to not put the book down. Yes, there's Jed's life and his stalwart companion, Matt, who make for an interesting pair up, and Jed's Thelma Ritter-like mom with her crazy antics, and the schmuck of a Principal who really is out for the Christian slaughter. But in the end, it was because of Ernie that I needed to know, had to know the ending of this unique comedy/drama. SPOILER ALERT: The Front Cover of the book says it all!
