My overall review of this book was really good. Although, it would probably be most enjoyable to people who lived in and remember the seventies. The book was funny to read because it covers music, films, politics, trends, and television. You can also follow along through the seventies at the bottom of each book page with a timeline marking historical events during the seventies. So if you want an educational yet fun way to learn about the seventies this book would be a good choice.

When you are busy living an era it is hard to remember the significant influences on the times. This book covers ways of life and cultural influences occurring during the decade. Since it was written around 1990, some editorial comments may seem somewhat out-of-date (e.g., John Travolta's successful career continues; there is very little about Michael Jackson, etc.)Overall, it was a great trip down memory lane for someone like me: 1972 high school grad; 1976 college grad.

that much-maligned decade finally gets proper treatment. hands down, this is THE BEST book outlining all that is worth reviewing about the 70's -- what a rich & colourful time! this book is sharp-witted, insightful, thorough, & fun to read! the spelling & grammatical errors of this first (& so far, only) edition do not detract from its style & content. keen observations on politics, fashion, tv, film, economics & industry, world news, & more... for those nostalgic for the decade or newbies, there's something for everyone. buy for all your friends.
