Boyle is a great writer, and I've read a lot of his short stories. This novel is about a hippie commune that makes the move to Alaska after they are evicted from their California ranch. It's a good read, but in my humble opinion about 150 pages too long. The hippies are obnoxious, selfish, self-centered, childish, etc., and how many times can you read about them getting stoned?
More hippies needed to die in this novel. Only one hippie and one Alaskan died - not enough.
