13th Gen

Casie Blevins

Filled with bunkum and real insight, drowning in 80's and early 90's pop culture, at turns humorous and downright insulting, Howe's book filled two weeks of my evenings with eye rolls, snorts, uhuhs and general amusement. Written by two Boomers who at times portrayed themselves as unapologeticly the superior generation, and at other times took a scathing look in the mirror themselves, I enjoyed their historical perspective of my generation (the 13th), theirs and my parent's Boomer Generation, my aunts' Silent generation and my grandparent's GI generation. I learned a tremendous amount about historical political policy and much of my own childhood and that of my parent's childhood made more sense as a result. Highly recommend.
