A book about years gone by seems good enough book to read and this review does evoke interest about the book. Simple language and straight forward outlook makes it an easy read.

Between the themes of love, family, friendships, deceit and drug abuse, it sounds like this book is an interesting portrait of the 70s! I'm really interested in reading the story mentioned in the review about the ocelot theft.

I have watched The Notebook many times and the first story is very similar. The '70s were a fun time that I have many fond memories of. Thank you for your review.

Tales of the Seventies by David Done is a book with a collection of stories from the 1970s to 1975. True stories that are a product of time. A book with over 149 pages, and about 8 Chapters. Where the last chapter is a novel. Making the book so interesting.

I love reading short stories. This collection of short stories and a novella sounds like an interesting read. I love the themes that the author has chosen for these stories.

I loved your review! Thank you and great work! I've added it to my WTR list!

Today's BOTD is a collection of seven short stories about love, family, friendship, and life in the 70s. Filled with details and descriptions that bring each story to life, this is the perfect read for those who aren't ready to tackle a long novel right now. Thank you again for the review...I'm looking forward to getting started!

I wonder where they got the idea of stealing an Ocelot from the zoo. It's definitely not the first thing that would come to a person's mind while selecting a task. This book seems interesting and your review is well-written. Thank you.

I loved the first story, Point to Point. The author's writing style and use of figurative language in the narrative is very enjoyable. I see why it bought "The Notebook" to mind. Thank you for the excellent review of this book of short stories. I think I need to read the others.

I wonder how the author felt when he saw those drafts after many years. Did he feel like it was written by a different man? Or did it feel just the same?

I don't know much about the seventies. I don't know much about San Francisco. But I think It will be an interesting read just the same.
Thank you for your review.

Interestingly, much like the author, I have a load of short stories from the early seventies in boxes at home. I understand his experience of reading them after many years and feeling that some were familiar, and others seemingly new. Maybe I'll have the guts someday to resurrect them as did the author. In the meantime, congratulations to him on his achievement and for earning BOTD.

I liked that it included seven short stories and that there were parts that makes you grin, which is uncommon in historical fiction books. It attracted me because it was written in easy words.

Shorts stories with a 70’s vibe by D.Done provides a
nostalgic feeling for such “good old days. They reflect the lifestyle and emotions of the time, yet feel very current also. Thanks for the review .

This seems like an interesting book. I love the fact that figurative speech has been used. Love, family and friendship is something I would love to read on.
