Media Reviews
"[A] very funny book that's also quite revealing about those elite segments of American media culture that orchestrate the stuff filtering down to the rest of the country. Somehow, it almost seems important...Young imagines himself a beer-swilling, coke-snorting lad mag Tocqueville, and occasionally, that's just what he is." -- Michelle Goldberg
-- Salon
"[A] repellent yet surprisingly entertaining compendium of gaffes and humiliations." -- Joy Press
-- Village Voice
