COMMUNITY REVIEWS
I'm due for a reread submitted by terpsichore17 on July 25, 2018, 3:20pm Interesting, engaging, and a quick read. I concur with other reviewers who noted how problematic a conclusion "We get the media we deserve" is; nonetheless, Gladstone is informative, amusing, well-illustrated (sort of half-book, half-graphic novel), and makes effective use of quotations.
