Summary: Easily the most controversial and intimate books of all time
Comment: When i first read this book I was around 13, the "puberty years". Though when I first started reading it I thought I was being perverted. Now i know that it isn't a perversion yet a form of love and inner being. First reading the book makes you feel weird, not knowing what to read. Yet reading the book a multiple of times, slowly once, in one day another, you get the different sense of each character. What they were going through and how it pretains to life. Though in my life I haven't gotten to that form of intellectual atvantage. I know in the future of my reading of The Harrad Experiment, I will learn more and more about myself , love and intimacy.

Summary: An Underrated Blueprint for Human Loving
Comment: I read this book when I visited my sister at her college, back in 1970; I was 12 at the time. This is funny, in that Rimmer's vision set my "over-intelligent" mind seeking the kind of intimacy, honesty, and sensitivity that he described...and I hadn't even gone to high school!
I've re-read the book several times over the years. I find the characters entrancing and their explorations enlightening. I agree that the book feels dated in this cynical world that poises at the brink of a new century, but the essence of the novel--the exploration of the fullness and freedom of human loving--is as fresh as advice that has never been followed.
Now staring down the barrel of 40, I still find the joyous exuberance of Harrad to be uplifting, entertaining, educational. Reading the book for perhaps the dozenth time is like visiting old friends who still hold their beautiful vision close to their hearts. Would that I could have shared in that experiment. Would that I had been so fortunate, so strong, as to forge this daring new blueprint for human loving. But I still do my part.
I strongly recommend this book to any and all who would explore the greatest realms of human passion. With love like this, we might finally enter that long-fabled human millenium.

Summary: Sex Education for a High School Sophmore
Comment: ... the book is not without merits. It's presentation of idealistic youth in a changing culture was a refreshing reminder, for a child growing up in the age of irony and cynicism, that there was a time in America when the youth believed that change for the better was possible, an intellengcia who were educated by reading Hermann Hesse and Gibran as opposed to Hegel, Chomsky & Foucault. I have reread "Harrad" many times and am able to laugh at what I once thought possible and the ending, oh the ending, I still find satisfying. Although being a product of the early nineties I am admitidly a cynic verging on being apathetic I will say this, if change is at all possible, it is possible only if approached from the perspective of the "insix", read the book and you'll know what I mean. All in all I give "Harrad" four stars for even with it's faults it still portrays a time and place that one can look back on and say, "At Least They Believed In Something."
