A fairly Identifiable Page-Turner
Not much is left to be said about the King of Lysergic Dyamethide 25. This book, in leary's candor, is a deranged trip through his life, telling all.. from his time is Folsom Prison to the Harvard funded Drug Research Trials he oversaw. Some are turned off by his all to frequent name-dropping, but it is also laying claim to the notion that not all was as it seemed in...

Take with a grain of salt
Having been presnt during some of these events Tim relates, I find the narrative skewed through omission at best, and faulty of memory when it comes to items which reflect poorly on the good Doctor. Also, he is flippantly disrespectful of those who were his source of support in trying times.

Some are turned off by his all to frequent name-dropping, but it is also laying claim to the notion that not all was as it seemed in his era. More people were "turned on" than was contrary belief.

An engaging self-portrayal of a brilliant enigma,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flashbacks: An Autobiography (Hardcover)
Dr. Timothy Leary, Havard professor, ground-breaking psychologist, West Point graduate, psychedlic guru, honorary Beatle, icon of the most tumultuous decade in 20th century US history, or ...just plain Uncle Tim; has recounted the various intriguing events of his life in a very accessable, humorous, and poignant manner. This is an essential read for anyone interested in psychedelia, pop culture, counter-culture, modern history, psychology, sociology, philosophy and metaphysics; and a highly recommended selection for anyone who would enjoy the wit, wisdom, and adventures of a true American spirit.
