Query: Wonderful for what it was

I'm surprised to see such low ratings on this book. I grew up years after the author, but it still resonated deeply. I was also into punk rock as a teenager, and it was refreshing to read the author's own experience with that.Note: I've read many books on Zen Buddhism and Taoism that explain them thoroughly. I did NOT expect this book to be one of those. This is, quite simply, a memoir of one man's individual journey.His struggle between being part of an alternative subculture, and regular engagement in a meditative lifestyle was fascinating. This really is a unique book.
