It’s visually
appealing- The pages are full of hundreds of glossy, colorful covers that will totally take you back to a simpler, more awkward time.
It’s well-organized-
The book is categorized in sections, dealing with subjects like family, school,
illness, and friendships, as opposed to by series or author. There are also a few interviews and special features, which were neat.
It’s thoughtful
without taking itself too seriously- This isn’t all fluff; there is actual
literary-esque analysis in here, as well as a sort of sociological approach
that examines why these books were so appealing to a certain demographic. There
is definitely a tongue-in-cheek feel, but I never felt that Moss was making fun
of the authors, books, or readers.
It’s got something
for everyone- Series, stand-alone titles, drama, friendship, illness,
horror… she hits on all the popular titles of our time.
It’s unique- There
are so many nostalgic nods to music, movies, TV shows, and clothing lines that
it’s about dang time that books are included in the bunch.
