Summary: Excellent early 70's counter culture adventure/comedy.
Comment: Blum really hits the mark here with a wicked look at the hippies, straights, and those folks in between during the early 1970's. I read this book in High School, and the scenes Blum paints with his pen echo through the years to a time when things were simpler (but we didn't have to walk 20 miles uphill both ways in the snow to school). I recommend this book for anyone who wants a little escapist humor with a touch of 70's wackiness.

Summary: An involving coming of age tale.
Comment: This book, when I read it in the early 70's, had a big impact on me. While it's no "Catcher in the Rye," anyone who came of age in the sixties or early seventies will likely enjoy this tale of a perceptive adolescent and his anything-but-rigid grandfather.

Summary: Fun trip through adolescent glee!
Comment: The author is keyed in to the joys of adolescent fun. Follow a teenager through his romp,get right inside his mind. You'll recognize Ralph Blum as a person who never lost touch with the true and awesome fascination of being a footloose youth in America. If you ever had an elder relative conspire with you to have some radical fun you'll love the character's grandfather. If you came of age during the early 70's, you lived part of this story, if not, this is an excellent sampler of the times.
