Some press reviews for Last of the Hippies:
'Tony Blair was. Half the Cabinet were. And so was your dad, probably. But these days, original hippies are hard to find. Despite the flares, hennaed hands and cheesecloth revival of recent years, only an ashtray-full of die-hards remain. Now C.J. Stone has endeavoured to expose them - and himself at the same time. A professional drop-out for the latter half of his 45 years, Stone's new book, Last of the Hippies, traces the movement to its genesis.' The Times
'A touching memoir .... Stone writes with intelligence, wit and sensitivity about being a working-class, belated hippie who has been hanging out with assorted no-hopers in places like Cardiff and Birmingham. This is a book written from within the hippie phenomenon by someone looking sceptically out.' Times Literary Supplement
'Ambivalence rather than embarrassment is what fuels this engagingly candid memoir ... Much as he likes to protest his disillusion, Stone's commitment to an underfunded life spent in squats, at free festivals and Green Gatherings blazes, or flickers, at least, off every page.' Sunday Times
'In a converted ambulance, Stone traverses a refreshingly uncool landscape (Birmingham, Hull) digging out friends from a quarter of a century ago. They are his counter-cultural characters, but now they are living in council houses surrounded by pictures of crop circles.' Independent
