Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very poorly written. So bad that I quit after a few chapters. It's too bad the author didn't have the services of a good editor to assist in making the story of an interesting career into an interesting read.

Everyone's Wrong Except Me: Hairy Pothead Smokes the Philosopher's Cone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very funny, controversial and thought provoking book. There is something here to please and offend everyone. Alias Pseudonym truly presents a unique perspective on life, politics, the universe and everything with a twisted and anarchic sense of humor. I love this book & so will you.
