Awesome read!
Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read this book in exchange for my review.

I absolutely loved this book! I was attracted by the cover and description and really enjoyed the adventure. After reading it, I went to the author's website and saw this is the third book in a trilogy! The good news is I did not need to read the other two books first to understand and follow the plot of Rocked in Time. I will go back and read the other two books because I really liked Degelman's writing style. This book is really a rollicking adventure through the 1960's as seen through the perspective of a member of the San Francisco Mime Troupe. Throughout there are cameos from Shirley Clarke (a filmmaker I really admire), Bread and Puppet theater, Black Panthers, Hell's Angels, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Diggers. There are also references to Commedia Dell' Arte, and Bertolt Brecht. This book felt autobiographical but it is fiction (though influenced by writer's formative years). I highly recommend this incredible and enjoyable read. Thank you to Netgalley and Harvard Square Editions for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
