Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 15
The use of entheogens, or psychedelics, is out of the closet today. LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and other medicines once associated only with the counterculture are now being legally studied for their healing properties. But as Rachel Harris shows, the underground use and study of psychedelics by women dates back to the Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece. Harris interviews the modern women elders carrying on this tradition to gather their hard-won wisdom of experience.

Great Subject Matter
Revisado: 01-10-24
I’ve read/listened to many books of this genre and this is NOT just more of the same. Definitely worth a read if you are interested in this topic!
I have to agree, though, with several other reviewers that the reading doesn’t quite do the work justice. The narrator has a pleasant and clear voice, but there is something about her inflection or emphasis or timing that feels a little bit like AI. The listener keeps being reminded that it is not the author reading the book, which makes it a bit more difficult to connect with the material.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 289
Rusty Young was backpacking in South America when he heard about Thomas McFadden, a convicted English drug trafficker who ran tours inside Bolivia's notorious San Pedro prison. Intrigued, the twenty-something Australian law graduate travelled to La Paz and joined one of Thomas's illegal tours. What followed took both men by surprise: they formed a strong and instant friendship and then became partners in an attempt to record Thomas's experiences in the jail.

Interesting and Entertaining

I agree with some of the other reviewers that the narrator's accent for Thomas was kind of confusing (if he is British, even of African decent, shouldn't his accent sound at least somewhat British?). But the narrator conveys the story well and in an entertaining manner. I found it riveting. I really enjoyed this.
Also, I understand there is a movie adaptation of this in the works. :-)
