Vice Capades covers a lot of vices from a lot of cultural contexts. The book is fairly chock full of information, flipping from different countries and perceived vices throughout history, including vice depiction in literature and the historical moments that defined or changed previous behaviour, particularly in the United States. It's a good read, especially for anyone who has experienced the feeling that something known to them is taboo, without really understanding why.

I liked the content of this book. It was interesting, and gave you a good insight into the magical world of vices . I would suggest this book for sure!

This non-fiction book about the history of vices in America was fun, interesting, and a little too broad for my tastes.
Overall, I quite liked it - it was intriguing and talked about many aspects of sex, drugs, and political opinions that I wasn't aware of. But for this reason, I wish that many parts of the book had been more in-depth. Spending one or two paragraphs on some ideas felt like it wasn't enough and I longed for more information on many topics. On several topics (such as public nudity), Stein did a good job of covering the information more thoroughly, making me wish that he had continued that practice throughout the book.
My only other complaint is that this book took me quite awhile to get into. The first few chapters felt disjointed and hurried and I didn't find Stein's rhythm until I was already several pages in. Once I got a feel for the book, I enjoyed it quite a bit more, however.
Overall, I'd recommend this for people with an interest in the history of drugs, changing sexual opinions, and landmark Supreme Court cases. It offers a good overview of these topics.
