Book Reviews of The Porning of America: The Rise of Porn Culture, What It Means, and Where We Go from Here

Book Review: Thought-provoking and fascinating
Summary: 5 Stars

What an eye opening book! I knew that there was a lot of porn on the internet, but I was astonished to see just how persuasively the writers argue that it is the main influence on our culture today, shaping just about every aspect of day-to-day life. Some of the book is hard to take, but parents, especially, need to know what is going on. Head-in-the-sand is really not a helpful option if you have kids to raise. I found the last chapter, "Where We Go From Here," to be especially interesting and valuable. All in all, a great read! Highly recommended.
