the crying of lot 49 was a pretty interesting but kinda of confusing at the same time. especially the whole drug and alcohol thing in the book. it just seems like everyone in this story was either drinking or on LSD the whole time. was it legal at that time for a Dr. to experiment LSD on people in his class. wouldnt you think the government would be doing all the drug testing at that time. also all the drinking going on at that time. once again it seemed everyone was drunk in the story. i dont know thats how i viewed this story
