Book Reviews of The Boomer Century, 1946-2046: How America's Most Influential Generation Changed Everything
Book Review: A Readable Perspective on Boomers
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this book to be very readable and entertaining. It brought back many memories of growing up (yes, I'm a Boomer). I thought it covered a lot of territory and provided a somewhat broad view of the generation.
About my only negative is that the book could have used more sources. Every chapter seemed to go back to the same folks. The sources were good, but more would have been better and more well-rounded.
Overall, the book is interesting even if a bit self-serving for a self-serving generation of Americans.
