Caring

I read this book in 1971 when I was 19 years old and I still remember it fondly. You come to reallycare about the characters. I think there's at leastone character in this book tht we all can identify with

Portrays the loss of innocense during the 60s

Growing up in So Cal during the late sixties early seventies, I have never seen another book capture the period so perfectly as this one does. If you missed that period this book shows you what it was like. If you came of age at that time, this book makes you feel like you are living it again. All the divergent groups of people each taking different paths are realistically portrayed. They all come together to make for an unforgetable ending.

TELLS THE STORY OF THE SWINGING SIXTIES!

It's the swinging sixties and the California Generation is out in full force! I first found this book at an used book store in the summer of '80. I was 17 years old and devoured this book! I found it in paperback soon after and read it every couple of years. I was only a little kid in the 60s but reading this book makes me feel like I was right there with Clay, Marshall, Stryker, York, Odessa, R.G., Dorot and all the rest. There are two different endings - one ended in 1968 and the updated version is from 1980, I believe. It would be great if Briskin brings the California Generation back for the millennium!

THIS IS THE BEST STORY OF THIS GENERATION.

A VERY NORMAL STORY OF THE LIVES OF TEEN-AGERS IN THE FLOWER POWER - LOVE GENERATION. HAVING BEEN THERE MYSELF, IT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES. THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF THIS BOOK. BOTH ARE VERY GOOD.
