Book Reviews of No Logo: No Space, No Choice, No Jobs
Book Review: Thorough and tendentious
Summary: 5 Stars
This book may be necessary reading for the socially and politically aware adult in the internet age. Klein's writing is more balanced than partisan critics might have you believe, and her work on this 490-page polemic has been very thorough. While she raises serious concerns, she eschews facile solutions. For this reason I recommend it to serious readers of all political hues - it is not simple propaganda, and Klein is as aware of the weaknesses in the anti-corporate backlash as she is of those in their chosen foes. Highly readable for a serious work.Book Review: Informatively frustrating
Summary: 5 Stars
It was well written exploring many aspects of branding, culture jamming, and production.
This book will leave you with frustration and questioning how you change change something, and what CAN you buy that isn't made from Export Processing Zones.
It does give great information but yet leaves you frustrated and feeling helpless that you can't change the current conditions or avoid buying products made in places like china, el salvador, indonesia where they treat their workers worse than dirt.
Book Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was recommended to me by a fellow volunteer this summer. I was a little skeptical reading it - I'm a business student and I didn't want to read the book, change my mind, and be stuck in a career I ended up hating. But, reading this book, if anything, has made me a more consciencious businesswoman. It makes me want to get out into the business world and be honest and hardworking. It's an eye-openning book that covers the last 20 years of marketing and major business events.Book Review: A great read, a wonderful find
Summary: 5 Stars
Superb, powerful impact, well written, hard to put down. A truly important book discussing today's society and the corrosive impact we all knew existed, but couldn't describe. Klein does - extremely well. She has the insider's knowledge, the perspective of one not infected, and the intellectual analysis which lets us mere mortals peek into the steel souls and hearts of today's boardrooms and corporate cabals. A book worth having. Don't lend it out! it will grow legs and disappear!
Book Review: No Logo
Summary: 5 Stars
I really liked this book! I especially liked when Naomi talks about the teen consumers. Being a teenager myself I see everyday what it is like. I would recommend this book to anybody that would like to know about the effects of logos on consumers and those people who work hard at making items but really dont benefit of the success and those who want to learn about people who are trying to fight this LOGO craze.
