Suck: Worst-Case Scenarios in Media, Culture, Advertising, and the Internet

Rating:
Summary: Close your eyes!
Review: An extremely funny book, that demands a level of media-cultural-computer sophistication most do not posess. 'Spy' Magazine died (the old 'Spy, when it was funny) and came back to life as this. Buy ! Buy! Buy! (Not actually three individual copies, but, well, you get the idea.)

Summary: title says it all...
Review: I guess I just don't get it. I've owned this book for years and can't bring myself to finish it. I've visited the site a few times, and the writings are good. The material seems to lose its impact in printed form, however.

Summary: Online Satire
Review: These guys would like to consider themselves the heirs of the old SPY magazine: close, but no cigar. These essays work better on your computer, with links to the targets of their satire intact. This book is worth reading, but SUCK loses some of its impact on the printed page.

Summary: Impulse buy
Review: Though I tend to shy away from "books", I had a burning desire to own this one. So being the impulsive youth, I am, I hit the order button. Do I regret it? No! I laughed my arse off. I guess now, I'll put it on a shelf and read it when bored, or sick or something. Yep.

Review: thought this might be an interesting book on the rise and fall of a pop-culture ezine, but I couldn't get past page 15. Save you money for n-sync's next record...
