review 1: while I was not a teenager in the 80s, much of my childhood was spent in them. I remember the music the fashion and the culture that will never see the light of day again. It was a simpler time and The Eighties: A Bitchen Time To Be A Teenager by Tom Harvey brought me back there again. The beauty of this book is you don't need to have lived the eighties to relate to the tales of angst that project from the pages. Filled with school memories, hormones, trouble and much much more this book is a memoir to be reckoned with. Truly a pleasure.
review 2: I never do this, but I just couldn't get through this book. I don't necessarily think it was the writing style or the content -- I love reminiscing about the 80s! -- but it wasn't the right book for me. I think I want... moreed to read more about being a teenager in the 1980s in a general way, popular trends, pop culture, etc., and not such a detailed portrayal of one person's childhood. There was an overabundance of minutia that I wasn't able to find interesting, whereas the broader story of 80s pop music, etc. was more compelling, it wasn't enough to keep me reading. I don't want this to read like a negative critique; my review is really "undecided". I've had the book for 5 months and finally want to bump it off my "currently reading" list but maybe I'll give it a shot again someday. I received it as a give-away and I'm grateful for the gift and sorry I couldn't respond with more enthusiasm. Good luck to the author; maybe with some reworking, it could be more accessible. less
