This review is available to non-members for a limited time. I was truly saddened on reaching the novel's conclusion, knowing that I'd never again encounter these new friends. I can honestly say I can't remember another book where I so completely fell in love with the characters, even though each is flawed (some more than others) and at times behaves unwisely. The core of the novel is the characters as they grow and change, each learning about who they are and what they want out of life. Utopia Avenue contains references to characters from other works by Mitchell, following precedents set in his earlier novels.

Everything you'd expect to encounter in a book about the 1960s is present – the drugs, parties, sex, anti-war riots, elevation of rock stars to near godlike status – and yet it's so skillfully portrayed that the setting feels entirely fresh, if not revelatory. Its time period seems a little too recent to label it "historical fiction," but it has all the hallmarks of a truly outstanding historical fiction novel nonetheless. Utopia Avenue defies easy categorization.
