Negative Positive
Title: A powerful tribute
Review: I am shocked that anyone could find this book "tedious and condescending." I must vehemently disagree with the reviewer who states that The Greatest Generation "minimizes every other generation of people." It does no such thing; it is a moving tribute to a generation that deserves such a tribute. If it weren't for the struggles and heroism of that generation, we might not be here today. The reviewer I refer to writes, "if Mr. Brokaw and others think that my generation hasn't faced death, despair, fear, illness and poverty, he and they are not truly connected to the world in which they live now." To this reviewer, I must say that the current generations of Baby Boomers and Gen X'ers do NOT face such struggle on the same massive level as those who lived (or died) during the Depression and the World Wars. Today's "myriad of stresses that cloud everyday life" cannot be compared to the stresses endured by what Brokaw rightly calls the "Great Generation."
Is the review positive or negative?
