I started reading this months ago and simply wondered why I was bothering. Today I finished it and I'm not sure it was worth trying at all. Maybe when it was written it was different but today there are a lot of books, better written and worse, asking about life, the universe and everything. This is a book set in late 1950's, early 1960's, features copious use of marijuana, plenty of sex, a lot of travelling and a very confused set of characters who seem to turn up on unexpected moments to spout platitudes.

The main character is Phil, a self-styled poet in London during the Beat Era. He has adventures that bring him around Europe and through his past.

It's not my kind of read, I'm sure there are people who would enjoy it but I'm not one of them. It does have some interesting moments which save it from a single star.

I possibly would understand more about where the story is going if I read more of the series but I have no intention of doing so.
