I enjoyed this extremely clever book immensely; it had me laughing out loud at times and I didn't want it to end. Written in the satiric tradition of Jonathan Swift and Paul Krassner, Larsen masterfully blends together the best elements from Harry Potter and The da Vinci Code with Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. Much more than just a hilarious, sidesplitting parody, this wondrous and brilliantly-devised tale teaches young people about the secret culture of cannabis and psychedelics. The delightful analogies between the hidden worlds of magic and cannabis, muggles and squares, are unusually creative and highly insightful. Filled with lots of unexpected twists and turns, this page turner had me savoring every last word. I can't wait for the sequel!

When I Ordered this book via Amazon I had to throw in the one-day shipping because I couldn't wait. I even ordered an extra copy for my pot dealer with the confidence it woudn't let my expectations down. When I first started reading I couldn't stop only to rub the burning sensation out of my eyes from the all the blunt smoke., I was hooked by the way the words flowed so good on paper. The way the writer mixed in the story with everything pot-related made me even more interested on what the plot twist would be. Along with the slick wording comes pictures that simply pop out of the page. The only problem was there was not enough pictures, just enough to leave you wanting more eye candy. After really getting into the story, my interest suddenly started to fade away as I realized I knew exactly what was going to happen.....[[[[[[spoiler]]]]]]]]>>>> The fact of the matter is the author of this book stole the ending from "The Da vinci code" a story that has been told over and over again.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<{{{{{{{Spoiler}}}}}}}}} The Ending of the Hairy Pot-head story was good enough to keep me a fan but, the ending really made me really consider burning the book. I generously gave it 4 stars only because I feel the writers of Hairy Pothead are Pioneers in the Cannabis Culture.
