my first reaction from reading this book is that it is far too outdated. and it will surely deter readers. that were not born or alive in the 70’s or the 80’s. the subjects he talks about include personas such as billy joel, pamela anderson, saved by the bell when it was still on nbc, my so called life when it still airing on mtv. so you get my drift. klosterman chooses subjects that inherently affected him when he was still growing up and while he was in college, there afterwards. this book is divided into several different stories but in reality they are all through the paradigm of the author’s life and his own opinons. which i guess the greater story in the end. [chokes] but yeah, sex, drugs, and cocoa puffs is good but not in the conventional sense.
