Summary: Great reading, takes you back to the 60's.
Comment: Loved the entire book! It was like reliving the 60's with two good friends. I loved the entrepenurial spirit of the young men, and identified with their hard work, troubles and successes. Hope there is a sequel in the works so I will know what happened when they reached California.

Summary: Should be required reading about the "60"s.
Comment: Modern Cabins is an autobiographical story set against the background of the most exciting decade of our lifetime, "The l960"s" The story of two young men revitalizing a run-down tourist court and gas station. The reader sees how the events, riots, protests, assassinations and political happenings filter down to their lives making them take a stand in everyday life in their attitude towards race and political happening at their local level.You feel their successes as your own. The book reads easily and you get so caught up you don't want to put it down, I read it in one evening. James L. Rice has written a book that should be read by all social-psychology students to see another side to "The 1960s" Truly a gem-five stars--read it.

Summary: An interesting piece of American History
Comment: A great story about two young men making their way in the 60's. Mr. Rice tells their story of buying a run-down gas station and motel in Kansas City and turning it into a viable business by way of extreme cleverness and hard labor (doing much with little), in spite of many obstacles, as he also parallels the political happenings of the era. You can't help but be drawn into the story, perhaps thinking about what you were doing at the same time, or your feelings as you are drawn back into the 60's race riots, Kennedy's assassination, etc. At times the main characters show much bravery as they defy the accepted attitudes of the time by doing the right thing. An interesting piece of American History. Mr. Rice is a great storyteller.
