Title: Sixties California - the inside story
Review: Fast paced and provocative, Poison Switch takes the reader through the lives of the obsessed as days of Peace and Love unfold into a fast paced well researched drama. Recurrenmt underlying themes of patriotism, mental illness, greed, and reason are well portrayed through crude, yet realistic, characters. For fans of adventure, California history and landscape, I recommend Poison Switch! Unusual insights into the Native American culture and the "hippies" of the Height-Ahbury. Shades of Charlie Manson in the Death Valley scenes are spookey, if you're a California socialhistory buff. The characters and their becoming names are worth the read alone. Coupled with terrific plotting and insights into the black/hispanic/redneck dilemas of the sixties, this book is a political riot!!!
