May 24, 2020: Acid for Children (Ali’s Pick)

Discussion:
Ali- It tripped me out. My brother is this era, thinking this is how my bro grew up. He was not really a crazy guy to begin with. I had thought he was more druggy crazy before reading this. I related with my childhood friends. Already have recommended. 4/5
Maren- Liked the growing up part, but High School dragged for me. I liked all the different places he talked about. Unbelievable they never got caught. Would recommend to certain people. 3/5
Julie- Always thought Flea was off and a wierdo. This book educated me that he was just insecure. It was an easy read. I liked the way he wrote although it started to drag with the all the lists of people and bands. Would not recommend. 2.5/5
Jocelyn- Overall the book was eh. His ever so enlightening drug trips got old. Liked the first quarter of the book when he was little and then it got old. He does have an incredible memory and liked that he was an avid reader and grew up in the world of jazz. Would never recommend 2/5
Meriah- DID NOT READ?

Favorite Characters:
Ali- Hellel
Maren- Flea and his NY friend
Julie- Old guy from the cemetery
Jocelyn- (Nana) Muriel Florence Cheesewright
