"Hippies" Will Bring Back Memories

I truly enjoyed "Hippies"! I saw myself in this book as the character, Dave Early - the neat,tidy, everything in its place sort of guy. Each reader should be able to find themselves as one of the characters going through college life in this interesting book. Hopefully, history will never repeat itself in the demonstrations that took place and the shooting of anti-Vietnam War protestors on the Kent State campus in 1970.

The History Will Haunt You!

This book about 1969-1970 college students from Kent State University is truly inspiring. As the characters gain knowledge and growth, so will you. Jeddick captures every aspect of the sixties in an easy, "can't put down" text. The characters will trap you, their experiences will excite you and the history will haunt you.

GREAT story--couldn't stop reading :-):-)

I am a fourteen year old from Kent who just finished reading "Hippies". As a lifelong citizen of Kent, I was saddened to know that such violent things took place here. My parents were going to KSU during 1970 and they have told me a lot about what happened on May 4th, but I felt like reading this book patched up all the hole s that were missing from their story. I really enjoyed reading the story set against the background of the KSU tragedies, as well as learning more about my hometown's history. This is a great book!

Very hip, man

If you remember the sixties, read this book. If you don't, read this book. They say if you can remember the sixties you weren't there; with this book I not only remember but I'm back there. Peace.

Couldn't put it down.

I just finished Hippies and thought it was one of the best books I have read. Jedick's writing style, similar to that of J.D. Salinger in The Catcher in the Rye, really pulled me in. When I finished the book I was sad because I wanted to keep reading about these charcters forever.
