I've read this book and I am about to start The Closed Circle right now, but i saw a bad review on the internet about the frist book!. I want to know if he got his facts right and if life really was like he describes it, back then!? And i also want to know why is there no mention of hippies and the Vietnam war!? I'm just 15 and that might have sounded funny but i know these things were going on in the 70's!. It was in America but still these kids seem to know nothing about the world they live in!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
