Library Journal Reviews : LJ Reviews 1997 May He did it on the silver screen, but can he do it on paper? A first novel about an alienated youth from the director of JFK. Copyright 1997 Cahners Business Information.
Library Journal Reviews : LJ Reviews 1997 October Imagine a Sixties Holden Caulfield, with nothing to read but Kerouac and Burroughs, dropping out of Yale and into Vietnam, then returning home via a Conradian cargo ship. On film, this famous director's (JFK, The Doors) thudding, often hogwash ideas are forcefully elevated by a blunt, visceral energy. On paper, this debut novel is mostly the hogwash. Logy, derivative, and pretentious, it's a young man's scattershot work Stone wrote it in 1966-67, then stored it until now in a shoe box, where it could have stayed. Once again, what's good therapy can make bad literature. Not recommended. [Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 5/15/97.] David Bartholomew, NYPL Copyright 1998 Library Journal Reviews
