Title: Where's Tony?
Review: While this book is heavily promoted as an analyis of contemporary America in light of the Sopranos, it is awfully light on the Sopranos side. Basically, a snippet of plot description from "The Sopranos" is used as a lead-in to each chapter, which then heads into dry sociological analysis.Why is it I have the suspicion that this book originally lacked any mention of the Sopranos, but then received the snippets, the title, and the heavy promotion to get some portion of the Soprano fan market? I guess it worked, I bought it without taking too much of a look at it.It isn't even very good sociology. It makes all sorts of claims and statements without citing statistics or having footnotes.Not really worth it. Browse it in the bookstore and decide for yourself, but there really isn't much here.
