Title: Gosh, What a Disappointment
Review: I was excited to read this book, anticipating a factual reporting of the history of the fast food industry, and its influence on the evolution of America's pop culture. What I found, instead, was a wolf in sheep's clothing. In my opinion, Schlosser should have chosen one of two paths for this book: either provide a historical, sociological account of the fast food industry, or provide a long editorial, highlighting the fast food industry as a manifestation of the things he thinks are wrong with our society. Either path is fine, but he should have chosen one CLEARLY. Instead, he makes us think it's the former when really it's the latter. This is just a cleverly disguised liberal speech, lashing out against commercialism, the vicitimizing, opportunistic nature of our evil society, and the lurking, evil monster that is big-business. Save your money.
