Inherent Vice Review: St. Petersburg Times

[Robin Landseadel]

It takes a beach-dweller to really appreciate a "Beach Read."

Colette Bancroft hails from tampabay.com.:

	. . . the Golden Fang may be more of a MacGuffin than a threat.
	The true horror that haunts the book's nostalgia for a golden
	moment in time is the Manson Family murders, which occurred
	just before the book's action and turned the peaceful hippie
	ethos inside out in one monstrous night. Doc, Bigfoot and
	others refer to them glancingly, as if they can't bear to look at
	them straight on.
