I loved this book A really good US family story from southern California in the mid 70s 4 wild boys up to mischief a conservative father with old fashiond views on upbringing and a regal mother who holds it all together Add to that a bunch of other interesting and believable town characters and it is just a really nice read.

It s December 1975 and life has taken a precipitous turn for neoconservative insurance agent Karl Patton While his own family remains in the tenuous grip of Karl s fascist rule the winds of political change and social liberation are tearing at edifice of his nuclear family It is indeed a time of tumult with a generation of broken young men returning from Vietnam and young adults cynical to the institutions that once defined the nation and made it great With the Grand Ole Party reeling from the fall of Saigon and Watergate the conservative private sector is also under attack by progressive social engineers espousing affirmative action quotas condemning the tyranny of white male leadership and urging income redistribution to correct the course of society As the Democrats mount a concerted effort to take back the White House the once rigid and spotless fabric of America is being soiled by feckless politicians sex drugs and rock n roll As temptation probes every corner of his picket fenced world Karl Patton must rely on brute force ingenuity and his clairvoyant spouse Susie to help him navigate the unfamiliar waters that represent a clear and present danger to his authority and way of life Bicentennial Rex plunges us back into the nostalgic waters of brown shag carpet free range kids and grab ass As a prequel to the novel T Rex By The Tail we once again enter the primordial world of Karl Patton aka T Rex as he contends with a conveyor belt of do gooders liberal cretins and ethically challenged business associates all organized in a conspiracy to upend his tightly guarded and controlled world It s touch and go whether the Patton children will emerge from this chrysalis of chaos to become justices of the Supreme Court or wards of the criminal justice system Is this the beginning of the end for the Jurassic Father the greatest dinosaur to ever haunt the aisles of the local hardware store BiCentennial Rex Tales of The T Rex
