Rating:
Summary: World's greatest book.
Review: I am the author's daughter and I think this is a wonderful book. It inspired me so much I wrote a song about Don Roberts, the co-author. Go out and buy the book. Dad will be happy and I will get another American Girl!

Summary: I liked it anyway . . .
Review: Peter was my professor and I had to read the book for his class, but I liked it anyway. It was very interesting and concerns an issue that is very important in today's world. It is even an easy read for those outside the academic world (unlike books by certain other professors I could name). Thanks, Peter! And go ahead and get Nina that American Girl.

Summary: Good, readable distillation of the research
Review: This is a good book! It thoughfully distills all the current research on the effects of popular music on teens and does so without the hype or hysteria of the press. Required reading for anyone who has concerns about the effect of music on youth.
