Customer Reviews

Days gone by

I arrived in Kings Cross 4 months after Billy and lived in the same street (Victoria Street) that ran behind Surf City. I personally knew all the characters in this book, and lived through it all, (including Vinces little brawl). It is like reading my own life story, this is the most accurate look at the sixties in Sydney that I have ever read and Billy is the absolute best story teller I've ever read. Eat your heart out Kerouac!

Rob

although I was a little too young to remember 1964, (I was born in 1959) this book is an absolute must for anyone interested in discovering or just revisiting the vibes from 1964 Australia particularly Sydney. A beaut read!!!

Good read...

...but it's still available from Pan MacMillan in Australia for less than AU$20

The best book ever!

This is the most accurate view of life in sydney during the sixtys. Forget all the others , this one has sex, violence, and stacks of ROCK AND ROLL! I was at the aztecs shows, I saw the fights and had the women. Don't bother with anything else. P.S. there is a HUGH surprise on the last page!
