From Angels to Aliens: Teenagers, the Media, and the Supernatural
While the book is written on a very interesting topic, the format does detract a bit from the subject. The author repeated some of her own sentences and her chapters, especially the ones without primary source data, are a bit long. Her conclusions are fairly intriguing: teens do not connect religion and the supernatural even though their interest in the latter can be dependent on the former. I picked up this book expecting a fairly easy read detailing members of my generation and our fascination with the supernatural. It was a very dense read, but it was interesting enough to finish.
