"We have many novels about the sixties, but few that remember with such care, measure, and maturity. Many Pretty Toys is heartfelt, but also a novel of the mind: of the scholastic temperament struggling to adapt, mentor, and teach in times of great turbulence. Neither an elegy nor an apologia, it comprehends all the paradoxes of trying to know or conclude, and the human need for telling nonetheless." - Bruce Michelson, University of Illinois
"Hazard Adams's Many Pretty Toys echoes and is, in many appealing ways, an update of Lionel Trilling's The Middle of the Journey. Adams's novel does for the tumultuous time of Vietnam-era protest on college campuses what Trilling's novel did for the same world during the radical thirties. The competing voices in Many Pretty Toys both critique and create an academic novel of generous heart and admirable substance." - William O'Rourke, author of Signs of the Literary Times: Essays, Reviews, Profiles 1970-1992
