[Sol Boden · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a great read! I found this in my school's discarded books pile and the cover made me want to read it. At first, I thought it would be some wacky psychedelic book (given its strange title, cover art, and it being published in the early sixties), but was pleasantly surprised with an evenhanded glance into the communes of America. Often times Miss Horwitz's eye for irony and humour shines in her writing, making Communes in America: The Place Just Right a joy to have read.
