Book Reviews of Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge A Radical History of Plants, Drugs, and Human Evolution

Book Review: A Challenging, Extraordinary Book
Summary: 5 Stars

This was my first glimpse into the theories of Terence McKenna, and I will certainly be coming back for more. Organic hallucinogens are extremely special and important to humans, whether we know it or not. McKenna brings it all together in Food of the Gods, in a surprising, enlightening, and shocking way. "Food of the Gods" is not light reading. It is a tough and challenging book, but extremely rewarding. I always knew that the accepted version of human history was either wrong, inaccurate, or incomplete. McKenna proves it in stunning fashion in "Food of the Gods". I could not recommend a book any more than this one.
