From Library Journal
A rebellious 18-year-old Air Force enlisted man named Mortensen has been assigned to latrine duty and is awaiting court martial for failing to obey a direct order. He nevertheless manages to meet and fall in love with the colonel's daughter, and to embark on a relationship that is filled with distractions and with the signs and symbols of coming of age in the Sixties: the music of the Byrds, the Animals, and Bob Dylan has a magical meaning for the young couple; and Mortensen attempts to lose his virginity and consummate the affair in the back seat of a Volkswagen. Not deep or complicated, this is entertaining reading, particularly recommended for baby boomers, who will be reminded of the trials and tribulations of their own growing-up years. Blake scored a hit with Dances with Wolves. -- Kathy Armendt Sorci, IIT Research Inst., Annapolis, Md.
