I got this book after very much enjoying Thornton's "7 Days in the Art World". But this book is just about unreadable. I stopped after about 30 minutes. It might have made an OK long magazine article, but it is just too booooooring.

This review is from: Club Cultures: Music, Media, and Subcultural Capital (Music Culture) (Paperback)
I never write reviews, but I felt compelled because my experience with this book was so different from the other reviewer's. I found this book very easy to read. She explores rave culture in the U.K. through her first-hand research and she extends Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital in a very natural way. This book will surely be in the cannon of important subcultural analyses, and I've seen it referenced many times in scholarly articles. It is at once scholarly and interesting, and I definitely recommend it.
