Review # 1 was written on 2008-12-07 00:00:00 Rachel Sandoval I didn't have high hopes for this one, but turned out to be very interesting and easy to read. I learned that there were a bunch of fads in the 1930's including: jigsaw puzzles, dance marathons and children's games. There were even recipes added into the book, most sounded disgusting and revolved around "cheap cuts of meat". gross. But a good book, surpassing expectations.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-09-08 00:00:00 Giancarlo Buonamici I think that I would mark any individual chapter in this book higher than a 3, but it seemed a bit disjointed in its focus. The writing is compelling and the descriptions and analysis of dances are vivid and well thought out. Enjoyable, exciting to read, but it ends abruptly without feeling like there has been a continuous thread throughout.
