A driving force behind the social revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, Hoffman inspired a generation to challenge the status quo.

This book drove my mother crazy when I was a teenager. I learned how to roll a joint, how to steal clothing, etc. by wrapping them around my legs under my pants, what to take if I wanted to run away. When I was caught stealing at the local store, she found the book, glanced at it and then threw it...
Deserved one star, the extra one is for old time's sake.
Changed my world view, even though I borrowed it from the library instead of stealing it.
