Next Stop Troubletown

Reviews

[StrictlySequential · Rating 3 out of 5]

About 110 different entries at a page a piece chronicling the sociopolitical climate of the U.S.A. from 1989 to 09/11/2001. The problem is that if you were born after 1985 this is USELESS to read because the issues are so contemporary.

It was interesting to see the commentary on all the things I remember vaguely from childhood but you really need to be born before 1975 to understand this enough to get more than superficial laughs.
