Book Reviews of Whatever Happened to the Hippies

Book Review: All is not lost!
Summary: 4 Stars

Mary (after reading this you will feel like you can call her by her first name) and friends welcome you to a world where 'Hippie' is not a dirty word. You are introduced into the unique community of the Mateel region, their home since the 1960s. It is a world of co-ops, community schooling, unconventional relationships and the occasional drug bust.

Because of the individual story-telling format, this work is a little repetative but it means you get to know everyone really well! It is the kind of book that reassures the rest of the world that America in not all Monica and Bill, Cheese in a can and fast-food drive thrus. It is also heartening to know that this is not really a historical work; Mary and co. continue to live in the region today. For a more sociological examination of this bunch, try fellow resident Jentri Anders' Beyond Counterculture: The Community of the Mateel.

Kick of your shoes, put on a Bob Dylan record, eat some tofu and enjoy this journey. It is good to know some people have maintained their ideological dreams.
