The case to rethink our assumptions about the period is one Doggett makes with verve and controlled passion ... <b>An excellent book</b>
- David Aaronovitch, The Times, *Book of the Week*
<b>[A] fascinating...new book about the decade </b>[the 60's]
- Rachel Cooke, Observer
<b>Refreshingly undogmatic, well-researched and highly readable</b>

I very much enjoyed the ride. <i>Growing Up</i>'s strengths lies not so much in it being <b>an expert guide to the seedier side of the 1960s</b> (which it certainly is) but in the question Doggett has woven in every chapter, but just manages to leave unsaid: just how much has changed?
- Kate Lister, Daily Telegraph
In <b>rich and playful prose</b>, <i>Growing Up </i>knits together material from newspapers, women's magazines, films, television and pop music to create an account of the 1960s that, <b>unlike most popular histories, does not edit out the grim bits</b>
- Louise Perry, Mail on Sunday
<b>An important reappraisal of a decade that changed us</b>, for good and ill
- Christina Patterson, Sunday Times
Peter Doggett's fascinating new book <i>Growing Up</i> <b>shows rather conclusively that the sixties was not a sexual paradise</b>
- Tomiwa Owolade, Evening Standard
