| I tried, but didn’t like this book. Writing style I found minimalist and boring. Story wasn’t explained enough to keep my interest. | |

| One of the best books I've read, ever. At times, it was overwhelming and I had to put it down. Viet Thanh Nguyen's writing is exceptional, dense in a good way. The story is difficult and tragic, but at times with a wry humor that lightens the load a ...more | |

“If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me."

The idea that a drug could occasion a life-changing spiritual experience was not exactly news to Bill W., as he was known in the fellowship. He credited his own sobriety to a mystical experience he had on belladonna, a plant-derived alkaloid with hallucinogenic properties that was administered to him at Towns Hospital in Manhattan in 1934.
