Rating: Five stars

This review is from: Colin Preston Rocked and Rolled (Paperback)
Young Colin Preston is not a happy sophomore. Although nineteen and handsome and loved by women, he is sensitive and sincere and when hurt has only The Beatles and other Rock stars and their songs for consolation. He has attended a prestigious private school before college and receives everything he needs from his Upper East Side parents except the one crucial thing, total acceptance. He longs for this, and gets a considerable amount from his best guy friend and his beautiful girl friend until he encounters a disaster. His music tapes and a Visiting Professor from Spain enable him to barely survive. His story is beautifully told using the short-hand expressions of his time. He is such a "noticer"that the tale is intricate and penetrating. One eagerly turns the page completely caught up in the ways Colin will use the methods of coping with life expressed by the artists from the Beatles to Frank Zappa. It is a story rich in romance, intensity, sexuality and psychology- a winner.
