It is hard to say how I feel about this book. On one hand Andy Letcher takes too much self pride in debunking theories. A whole chapter was wasted on talking about Gordon Wasson's theories, when I'm sure his targeted audience already found them out-dated. On the other hand, all of his mycological research is put together very well and is very interesting. I also like how he focused on every time period's ideas of magic mushrooms allowing the reader to see the transition to how we view magic mushrooms today. I have never read a book I was so undecided on, however, I rated it high because whether I was mad or intrigued with what he was writing about I couldn't put the book down!
