1. Nostalgic, fun read
   Easy book to pick up and chip away at because a chapter is only a few pages. Reminds you of growing up. Fun read that was informative at times, but remained light.

2. Read it if you need a generation X communal vent
   Bottom line: I enjoyed the book. I’d buy it again. Still, it is superficial, and (excuse me being petty) the author’s repetitive use of the word “delicious” irked me just that amount to much.Pros: If you are. Boomer or generation Xer and are looking for a mutual “oh! That’s how I feel” vent, you’ve come to the right place. It is also a bit nostalgic, being a reader sort of the same age as the author. I liked reading about her experiences with her older-than-mine children (sort of “that’s what’s coming”). The illustrations are cute. The book is super easy to digest. An easy vacation read.The cons: other than the repetitive use of the word “delicious” my main real comment is that the book is superficial. On the one hand it lends to a fun read. But on the other, there’s a missed opportunity for some good discussion. Most of what you’ll read here you’ve already thought of or have read elsewhere before. Finally, it felt petty sometimes. It’s not to say I didn’t agree 99% of the time. It’s just that something in the tone made it hard to share / start a conversation outside one’s own head.

6. The before..when we were truly free
   Left me wanting to go back to a time when we were truly free. This book captures what happened the day the internet came to town.

7. An important book
   It’s well-written and east to read, taking on some very important issues that face particularly younger people these days. We’re all seeing the world through different lenses, and neglecting a look back now and then could be dangerous. Let’s all stop once in a while to notice the trees, yeah?

10. Was fun to pick off a few chapters as we were on a road trip. Kept our conversations going and made the time pass. Made us think of things looking back that we hadn’t considered in a while. Thought provoking.

11. Everything in this book is true. I hope alot will read it as I read it in one day and probably damaged my eyes. I just couldn’t put it down. Today I donated it to my local public library. The lady there said that as soon as they get a copy it’s gone almost gone in hrs.
