Good but not great

This book has a lots articles of different genres that talk about pop culture. Personally, I found all these articles very helpful in the way that they require much of mental thinking to deeply comprehend what the author tries to say. With that being said, some authors has very abstruse style of writing that slows down your comprehension unless you read it over several times. If you are someone who seeks some pop cultures books for reading pleasure, this book is not for you, but those who read it for academics this book is definitely the one. It helps so much when you discuss the article with your friends; some new insights will be gained during the discussion. Overall, it should be best if each article has side notes or something that summarizes the main ideas of the article. I give this book four stars because it is a good book but needs small adjustments.
