"Throughout Confesssions, Norberg makes his point about the pitfalls of drug abuse without sounding preachy, and happily remains an idealist who still believes that the proper use of psychedelics can lead to the greater awareness necessary to create a more enlightened society."-- Tierney Smith, Relix 12/00
What the author of this autobiography really deals out is irony that, had it been rolled together by Pynchon or even Updike, could not be any more stocious (to borrow some of Norberg's extraordinary lingo).
-- San Francisco Chronicle, 8/20/00
