I happen to be a HUGE Caryl Rivers fan, so my review may be a little biased. "Virgins" is one of my all-time, favorite books, so reading "Occasional Sins" was like sneaking a peek into Ms. Rivers' research notes. I loved finding out how much of "Virgins" was autobiographical, based on the true stories told here in "Occasional Sins". As usual, Ms. Rivers uses her intelligence and her humor to tell a great story. She offers a glimpse of what life was like in the 40s, 50s and 60s, a time I did not live through personally, but have always found interesting. I'm sure anyone that was alive in those days will be inundated by a flood of shared memories of world events as well as being reminded of their day-to-day life during that era.
