Everything Bad is Good for You

I was to canceled my membership at AUA library. Suddenly, this shock-pink book with a man who has a television as his head appeared. Hence, I ended up paying them for more one year membership despite the fact that I was broke! And here is my brief review of the book.

Grand Theft Auto and Desperate Housewives might not that unfruitful as we think. We assume that reading book is more beneficial than playing video games since books stimulate children's imagination while video game does not nothing but cultivates our children with violence and impatience.

But what if it's all wrong?

Personally, I didn't find this book WONDERFULLY ENTERTAINING as Malcolm Gladwell remarked. However, the author, Steven Johnson, has done a very good journalism and analyze pop culture in a very different ways. And you should not miss it if you are interested in multimedia culture or want some good reasons to argue your parents that what you are doing (like watching Prison Break all day) is not useless as they think.

All in all, you may cannot replace People magazine with this provocative book, you can still enjoy its witty style of writing with a lot of unorthodox facts and opinions.
