I found myself getting lost in the philosophy and taking a journey within myself as I journied with the students Stanley, Shiela, Beth, and Harry through their four years at Harrad. I think that this is a book that all young people should read before their beliefs get set in stone.

Actually my mom didn't want me to read this book. I mean, I started it and couldn't stop . You might be wondering why I said my mom didn't want me to read it well I'm 13.

I missed out on reading this watershed book when it was "hip" to do so in the late 1960s. A little too young to appreciate it at that time--it's just sad thinking about the end of the so-called sexual revolution with the onslaught of yuppies, AIDS, and political conservatism starting in the 1980s. But having just finished it, I'll support the previous reviewer--"Harrad" is an excellent, engaging, always entertaining book!...
