I found the story quite compelling,with an unexpected ending. I know much more about pirate life than I knew before reading, and I appreciate the author’s epilogue telling what was likely to be true, and what wasn’t. it’s a good read, and the performance brought the characters to life.

The women were whiney and submissive. I could not listen to the whole book. It was to unrealistic. Mad me mad these girls could not stand up for themselves or tell someone NO.
I have the physical copy at home and there are certain sections. The audio narrators left out. This is a phenomenal book would recommend it to anyone and everyone ready and willing to open up their mind and their hearts. 
An incredible view into the life of Sasha (Alexander), Ann Shulgin and the people who supported their efforts. This is a must read for those fascinated by the chemistry of psychedelics and personal exploration. The book combines scientific insights with the Shulgins’ experiences, offering a captivating narrative. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding..
