I nabbed this as soon as I saw it on the uncon tables. I've been wanting to read this for a while. I think it actually made it onto my wishlist after I'd read Scarlett Thomas's Popco and she mentioned it as a book she'd read.

Well, I started reading it, but I'm not sure if it's going to be one of those that I will have to read a little at a time, interspersing with other things in between. I'm finding it very, very dry, and so far it doesn't seem to have told me anything that I didn't already know. Like - big corporations spend a lot on advertising and they really want consumers to buy their products. Gosh, really? Perhaps it's because this book came out more than a decade ago and its messages and findings have been discussed exhaustively since then. I will keep trying!

Released 11 yrs ago (12/18/2012 UTC) at Monthly BookCrossing Meet Up in York in York, North Yorkshire United Kingdom
WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Brought to Monthly BookCrossing meetup at Ye Olde Starre Inne.
I did try to finish it, but I didn't have the time or, to be honest, the inclination. More a reflection on me than on the book.

A bit of a tome so might take a while to be released again. Looks an interesting rant into consumerism and how branding affects spending habits.

Only got partway through. The text was too small so have got an ebook version instead! Really good and thought-provoking. Just also dense - a lot of complex information. Bringing to the Author-N themed meetup.

A lot more readable than I expected, somehow. Definately helps that Klein is a journalist rather than a theorist- she illustrates her points rather than pontificating about them. A brilliant discussion of how the rise of branding has contributed to more aggressive forms of capitalism, and suggestions about how to combat this. (The latter part is a bit depressing when you reallise things are actually worse now than then!) There's a certain wry self awareness which is more authoritative than radical flag-waving: she talks about the co-option of the campus identity politics she was once heavily involved in, for instance.
