Review by Sam Adams, eMusic

The high priest of Gen-X navel gazing, Chuck Klosterman proudly elevates his personal obsessions to the level of cultural studies. From Saved by the Bell to the Pamela Anderson/Tommy Lee sex tape, Klosterman finds ways into the dark, sticky heart of American popular culture, its arteries clogged with mindlessly consumed junk and free-floating detritus. In one of the book's signature essays, Klosterman mounts an enthusiastic defense of a Guns ‘n' Roses tribute band: better an imitation of greatness than mediocre originality. Detractors will find it hopelessly self-indulgent, and the sensitive of ear may shy away from Klosterman's nasal speaking voice, but those with a taste for pop-culture excess will dive right in.
