A review by banana29
Drop City by T.C. Boyle, Richard Poe

5.0

Boyle's book is a quest story of hippies to find their Utopia...but not enough of them chip in, help out, and the selfishness inherent in human beings causes each attempt to implode. No amount of sun ripened avocados, free love or weed is enough to make each commune member happy. This book is on our grade 12 reading list and it is both a delicious read and the perfect teachable book...filled with symbolism and nuance, rich in character development and an exciting plot, I highly recommend this book for senior students and adults alike.
