I enjoyed "Pictures at a Revolution," and I agree with you about the virtues of the book.
Still, by the time I finished it, I was of the opinion that "the revolution" had as much to do with the Bond movies, Sergio Leone's "Dollar" trilogy, and "The Dirty Dozen" as with "The Graduate" and "Bonnie and Clyde."
It was fascinating to read about "Dr. Doolittle." I never saw the movie, but I had the pop-up book and an "Alvin and the Chipmunks" record of the songs from that movie.
