5.0 out of 5 stars TELLS THE STORY OF THE SWINGING SIXTIES!, July 3, 1999

By

bookcat1962 "bookcat1962" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: California Generation (Paperback)

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!

By A Customer

This review is from: California Generation (Paperback)

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.

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