(More customer reviews)It's lively. It's present. Like a play- jabs me immediately into the situation. Fast. Tight. Bang. Bang. Right into the movie set. Reminds me of "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues". Cutting edge. There's a host of characters, an American setting- the kind of home which doesn't make the cover of Chatelaine. A troubled family. Trailer Parks. Only in America. Coleman has mined this territory and the offbeat people who inhabit these colourful dwellings on the fringes of society and set it all against the crazy weird and pulsating backdrop of the late sisxties when life was lived on the edge like it was one long and endless acid trip.Our main heroes, "the son" and his sidekick Bo, are products of Adolf's Trailer Park in East Morton, mifits of this subculture. Characters are alive and their personalities leap off the page. Coleman has flair. They are illuminated.Besides creating scenes where images are heightened visually, and emotionally alive and electric, Coleman has an inherent natural verbal capacity for vocabulary and a talent for dialogue. He shines both here and in his ability to create suspension. It's not just sex, drugs and rock and roll, it's social re-creation and documentation, it's comedy, a good read and a good novel.

Set against a tacky backdrop of Midwestern squalor,Trailer Park Hippies is a tale of parental insanity, adolescentinfidelity and the moral disintegration of the late1960s. School-skipping, drug-crazed teenagers engage in highlyconsensual mobile-home sex while Country Joe and the Fish blare at topvolume from cracked stereo speakers in the background.
