3.0 out of 5 stars biased account of the trial, May 19, 2000

By A Customer

This book is very easy to read, although it is difficult to find. Tony Palmer recounts the OZ trial--one of the longest obscenity trials in history. The background and the trial itself is described very well. My gripe about the novel is that it IS a biased account of the trial, so one cannot form his or her own opinions about the obscenity of OZ magazine--Schoolkids Issue. For those with no background on this trial, it arose from OZ 28, the Schoolkids Issue. Kids, 14-18, edited, wrote, and illustrated for one issue of OZ. Neville, the publisher, allowed the adolescents to express how they felt. Many people found this offensive (because they thought he was targeting children). Although this novel is biased, it does give one information about the trial--since there is such limited imformation about it. Another novel to check out is _Hippie Hippie Shake_ by Richard Neville.
