I've been a fan of Ken Goddard for YEARS!! This book is a great read and makes some major comments about drugs, drug use, and who we are in America. Everyone is looking for the 'holy grail' and when an associate Prof. at the local college finds it, the whole town turns upside down trying to get hold of it! Great book from a great author, just wish he would write a few more, SOON!!!

From the beginning of the book, Goddard shows superb writing skills. He uses very specific descriptions allowing the reader to visualize exactly what is happening, to the smallest detail. His subject choice for this story is a new and unique one, and is very interesting. Such a situation helps keep the reader glued to the book, as with all great books. He shows great knowledge in the subject on which his book is based. This book is one worth reading.

I read this book years ago and wanted to reread it. A bit dated, but not a bad book.

This book changed my outlook on life and dreams. It is full of inspirational and beautifully poetic allegorical references. I reccomend it to all my friends (and any foes).
