Book Reviews of The American Drive-In Movie Theatre
Book Review: Interesting Info
Summary: 4 Stars
Being a huge fan of drive-ins, I really looked forward to reading this book. The only criticism I have is the sequence of the actual chapter text of the book, and the information inserts that the author has throughout. It is very "chopped" up. Reading the chapter, then turning the page to find there is information pertaining to something else on the next page. The chapter text starts a couple of pages later in some cases, breaking up the continuity. Other than this, it makes for a very interesting read for those who enjoy nostalgia and want to be transported back to a more simpler and fun time.Book Review: A "must-have" book for all nostalgic baby-boomers!
Summary: 4 Stars
Surprisingly little has been published on this colorful little slice of vanishing Americana. The Sanders' book is richly illustrated and well organized, letting the pictures drive the story. Buffs may seek a bit more statistical information, but there are sidebars aplenty and I daresay that all but the most sophisticated enthusiast will learn something new about this wonderful institution. I cannot wait to see what the Sanders' plan for an encore!
