Title: What you never thought a mall would offer - wisdom!
Review: We're all part of one big happy consumer family - but as with most families, it's usually hard to figure out what's going on. This savvy book about the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., the biggest of 'em all, takes a sharp look at how consumerism on a grand scale functions, and how we are all sucked into it one way or another. Whether he's casting a whimsical look at an icon like Snoopy, observing a day in a mall-style classroom, joining in a therapeutic shopping trip with a group of suburban women, or wittily cataloging the sensory overload of it all, Eric Nelson is a great consumer family counselor. You'll never go to a mall again without noticing new details of the strange and wonderful shopping binge we are all on. It's a fun read, and a wise one.
