"With his cynical exuberance and ill-concealed delight in the irresistible strangeness of life, Jones brings to mind The Catcher in the Rye and A Confederacy of Dunces and their lovable curmudgeonly narrators. In telling his story, Jones turns the legend of the legendary sixties inside out."
—David Stanford, editor for the works of Ken Kesey and Garry Trudeau

"Weirdly triumphant."
—Scott Spencer

"A rather wonderful memoir.  It is direct, funny and touching. I've come across quite a few memoirists such as Jones, dismayed that publishers have failed to appreciate their work; none of them, before him, has had any talent. It's difficult to prove yourself the exception.
— Nicholas Clee, Editor, The Bookseller

"She would have been a god damn icon. She would have had followers, worshippers, acolytes, an entourage. She would have given Zelda Fitzgerald and Anais Nin and Isadora Duncan and Josephine Baker a run for their money in the memorable chick department. She was the first hippie, for one thing. I've mentioned that. Yeah, well, she was. I have proof. Documentary evidence. You could look it up."
—Ginny Good

 "Jones has proved that the best revenge against literary agents isn't a Web site that reveals their addresses but a memoir that exposes their lack of imagination."
—The Oregonian.
