This is an excellent book. Kilbourne offers a smart and easy to follow analysis of the kinds of advertising that surround us almost every moment of every day, with a lot of ads demonstrating the themes she talks about. She also shows the damage that this does to our psyches and personal relationships. My only complaint is that I wish she had offered some concrete suggestions as to what we can do about the seemingly dire situation we seem to be stuck in.
