Reviews
"Nearly every page is riveting in Timothy Leary, which unfolds like the great novel Sinclair Lewis might have written had he lived to the age of 120…[Greenfield] does a particularly good job of being at once meticulous and brisk."
New York Times Book Review
"Leary's wild ride is the subject of a hugely entertaining new biography by Robert Greenfield, the first man to take on the myth…[A] genuine page turner, an epic tragedy and a cosmic farce."
LA Weekly
"A veritable who's who of the age of Aquarius and a real page-turner, Greenfield's cornerstone portrait of the acidhead who would be king brilliantly illuminates the paradoxes of the psychedelic age."
