I should have been taking notes as I read this. There is so many things that were touched on that are just so relevant still today. This book was published the year I was born. I find it sad that so many of the themes in this book we still have to face today...35 years later. Well even longer if you want to count the time period it is set in. This book could have been written today.

This book was just so good.
