Judgment Regarding Books I Have America Surrounded: A Biography of Timothy Leary

Interesting, inquiring biography. Neither hagiographic nor unnecessarily cynical, it presents an informed and opinionated summary of Leary without forcing the reader to embrace the authors point of view. A bit longer than it needed to be; nonetheless, captures the significance of Leary in the emergence of the 1960s counterculture movement quite well.

9/10. The life of Timothy Leary is an amazing story and it is very well told in this book.

What. A. Life.

As with most 60s lit, this one does not differ too much in its hero worship, but it does fairly well at sticking to the whole truth, and you can decide from there if Tim is your hero or not. So I liked it alot for it's readability, succinctness, and somehow cramming all the very important facts in its pages about a very complex life, now gone.

I saw this book at the Half Priced Book store and, well, I was intrigued. I've heard about this man and his famous quote, "tune in, turn on and drop out." I perceived Tim through the filter of pop cultures and stoned hippies. It turns out it was a far more interesting read. All the other individuals that were present in that time, music, political personalities, that he knew back then who have made influences on how we perceive American culture today.It was well written, funny and fact filled. I

A fascinating read. The pacing of the book was good - I particularly liked that side information was introduced just before it was required and was kept to a minimum but was still packed with detail. e.g. details regarding the Black Panthers, Ram Dass, Ash Ra Tempel etc.I also liked the way the author tries to let the facts speak for themselves. There was plenty negatives said about Leary, but also plenty of positives too. Speaking of the positives, some of his theories are really interesting

What a man. What a book. What an ending.
