Thanks for sharing your review! The characters seem interesting and relatable. I like that the story keeps true to the era and doesn't shy away from topics that may be seen as controversial.

This sounds like a good book based on the review. An inside look into the 70s, for those who didn’t live in the time period.

Well put together review. However, I do not think this book interest me because of the era that it was written in.

This sounds interesting to me from a musician's perspective. I know little about music from the 60's. This sounds easy to read and hopefully historically accurate to the time period

Thank you for the well-done review. I think I'm going to pass on this book though. It doesn't grab my attention and pull me in.

I liked how thorough the review was. What I appreciated most about it was that it mentioned some topics which are in the book and could turn some people away in there controversial matter. The books description in this review was better than reading the one about the book on amazon. I did feel that it was a little too much information on the characters, as I would have preferred to learn of the main characters on my own in reading the book. Even though I am not a huge fan of the 60's and "flower power", I will most likely give it a shot due to this review and its description of the book.

I don't know much about the 1960's so it seems like this would be a book filled with a lot of new info for me. Too bad about the editing problems. And also I wonder how relatable this book would be considering all the main characters are men. Great job on your review though!

Thanks you for a great review micoleon13 on Good vibration. A book about the 60s including  flower power, good music, friendship and freedom and romance sounds interesting. Thanks to the author.

I 'd like to read more on the friendship and bond shared by Alex, Jamie, Sebastian, and Danny in The Craynes Greatest Hits. It will be interesting to see how Gina Marie recreates the hippie lifestyle of the '60s era in this book.

The era of love, flower power, weed, and music. Memory lane type stories that show the beginning to current friendship. I think I would like to read this very much.
