Split

(91 votes)

In Split, Lisa Michaels offers a strikingly textured portrait of her days of communes and road trips, of antiwar protests and rallies - and of what came after, for her parents and for herself - as the radicalism of the 1960s and 1970s gave way to conserva.

I read this for a history class, with the purpose of deriving a larger significance of the 1960's. Being the child of two "counterculture" parents, I was hoping for some amazingly passionate, explosively activism-filled tale of a girl working toward social change.

This is a very well written account of coming of age in the milieu of activist, hippie parenting. Up until puberty the memoir is stirring and informative; however, as the author begins to mature, she loses sight of when to finish the story.

I think Lisa Michaels tells a good story...but I found that her book stretched credibility just a little.
