Reads like a lost classic and puts to rest the myth that important literature is only available on store shelves.
Review by: Marcella O'Connor on Nov. 09, 2009 :
Finally, a book that strips the myth the from the '60s and tells the truth about a misunderstood decade.
Review by: Anne Lyken-Garner on Sep. 06, 2009 :
Just as addictive as the subject matter it covers. A compelling journey in the form of pages.
Review by: Dan Holloway on Sep. 04, 2009 :
This is a haunting, poetic account of subjecty matter that has no right to be this beautiful. Utterly wonderful
