review 1: To give you a reference point I graduated high school in the west side of Los Angeles in 1973. I have 2 older cousins, one of whom is one of the original hippies who lived in the Haight, Berkeley, and Bolinas. I lived in Manhattan Beach, only a few miles from the location of this book. I may or may not have been exposed to or involved in some or all of the aspects in this book. With that being said, this book was a complete flash back! It is as if I was reliving a portion of my life that seems to be somewhat hazy. It completely (well, almost) filled in the holes, explained some of the seedy haze and gave me a foundation to move forward with a sense of positive closure.If you are familiar with any of the aspects discussed in Orange Sunshine - read this b... moreook!!
review 2: I did not know that Timothy Leary ran (briefly) against Ronald Reagan for Governor of California. Until I read this book. It's a wild ride. A sad, interesting, and unbelievable tale about the intersection of idealism, enlightenment, commerce, surfing in the Southern California. It's hard to believe it all took place in the span of about five years. I wonder what happened to all of the characters - the ones that didn't die or end up in padded rooms. I imagine I'll find out when I finish. less

I don't think I'll ever refer to myself as a hippie again. Just kidding, but it's a heavy book, man!

Well-researched page-turner. If the full title sounds up your alley, it is.

Acid, surfing, Leary, Afganistan. This book has it all and it's all true!
