Negative Positive
Title: Disappointed..thank goodness for the library
Review: Let's be frank: what this book describes is a real problem in America--rampant consumerism. However, after this point is beaten like the dead horse it is, the author degrades into slamming "polluting, congestion-oriented, etc." sport-utility vehicles and encouraging us to join some "downshifting" clubs. These clubs sound suspiciously like hippie communes. I should have expected more from a professor. But the rants go on and on, so my interest dwindled. Also, don't be fooled about the page count; almost 1/3 of the pages are references.If you want a good book about consumer habits, read "The millionare next door."
