Reviews

[Patricia · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some of these stories are in the first person and seem to be autobiographic, while others are written in the third person. Maddox seems very fond of polysyllabic words, some of which are not found in the dictionary. I think he made them up! The stories are full of Hindu mysticism and the joys of pot smoking. Some of the tales were so boring, that I had to skip through them. This is a very long collection, and some tales were repeated several times. I will not buy any more books by this author.
