Negative Positive
Title: Worth reading
Review: Kahn's skill at capturing and conveying nuance, the highlight of his sports books, is not as evident in this effort, but it is still an interesting take on one of the better known student revolts of the 60's. Student revolt in the 60's, a phenomenon entirely apart from the "turn on, tune out" hippie movement, is a topic beyond the scope of a single volume, but the fact that both the students and administrators were still feeling their way in those days is skillfully conveyed. There is a negative review of this book on Amazon whose author seems to have an agenda beyond his or her review. One can't quibble that most Columbia students came from financially secure homes but I don't think that distinguished this skirmish from those taking place at other universities, or serves to trivialize the phenomenon at all. This book is worth the read.
Is the review positive or negative?
