This was a charming book full of concise information about odd and half-forgotten topics and trends that shaped the 90’s. The scope of the book was admirable (grunge, video rental stores, sports, politics, Y2K, etc.) and made it feel like a true overview of the decade. The author’s writing style and distinct voice are what really shines through however, he somehow made a chapter on college football (a sport I have no attachment to, at any level) keenly interesting.
