Title: Not just for Deadheads
Review: I know Max, so perhaps I am biased...Great novel with wonderful descriptions (the tunnels in Cypus; the cool guy who travels with nothing but a didgeridoo). I enjoyed it tremendously, and I know very little about the Grateful Dead or about the drug culture surrounding the band. If anything, it's a great intro into that history, for someone who did not experience it whatsoever.Some have criticized this book as being less than *other* Dead literature out there. Well, I have not read other Dead literature. Never had a desire to. But this book I enjoyed.Others have criticized the story as not being terribly exciting. Well, the story is mostly true (according to Max: it's all true, except for the the sex [much less in real life]). Therefore, it's not surprising that the book has great character development, but does not race through an exciting plot. Isn't that how life usually goes?
