Summary: Incredible insight into the male psyche of his generation.
Review: Worth the pursuit--both to purchase as an out-of-print and to read, ponder, and absorb as writing, as a study, and as a meditation of sorts. I admired everything about this work, and if transitions are sometimes awkward, they are also heroic, as the attempt to convey so much in one book is huge and heroic. Colton's an athletic writer, and disciplined--he's carried over his sports talents to the writing life.I keep looking for a new Colton book...

Summary: A "Must Read" for insight into the 60's and true too!!
Review: WOW-Larry Colton brought it all back to me - I graduated in 1963 and his description of the times was poignant - it all flashed before me again. Great insight into how some of us were not that enthusiastic to "get involved", but he confirmed my feelings that this was truly an incredible time to live and just how much that time period in history has affected all of us in one way or another. It is great to see how even though 5 lives were lived very closely in college, once released into the "outside" world, how much different they really are from each other. It was really interesting to see how each matured(?) in their own way. I loved this book and have advised a lot of friends about it. Although hard to find, it's worth the effort! If you want to know what it REALLY was like to live during the terrific time period referred to as the 60's, this is the book to read. Kudos for the male frame of mind insight too. Thanks to Larry Colton for a great book
