Customer Reviews

Great Read

I had read this book originally in the 70s and it was a hoot to read it now. Attitudes certainly have changed since the late 60s when it was written. As I write this, we have just nominated an African American to be President!

Interesting Social Commentary

Not a single character is likeable because we see their weakness and prejudice. That said there is some truth in each of the characters. Sure the sterio types are obvious but it says as much for the time this was written as it offends todays sensibilities. I liked the story because of it's period ideas. I grew up in the time frame of this story and although stilted it did give me some of the feel of the time and how far we have come.
