Hi everyone
This is my review for the book containing both ‘The Doors of
Perception’ and ‘Heaven and Hell’ by Aldous Huxley.
My copy has 123 pages story, a 2-page forward by J. G. Ballard and 10 pages about Aldous Huxley. I got it at the Standaard Boekhandel.

“In 1953, Aldous Huxley took four-tenths of a gram of the
drug Mescalin, sat down and waited to see what would happen. When he opened his
eyes everything was transformed. He describes his experience in The Doors of
Perception and its sequel Heaven and Hell.”
I did not enjoy this at all.
It wasn’t even interesting to read it as a disconnected essay about his experiences.
It’s an utterly boring and pretentious, stream of consciousness promoting drug use.
