lovelymisanthrope 's review for:

The Nineties by Chuck Klosterman
3.5
emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

As a '90's baby myself, I was very interested in the premise of this book. This novel explores everything that made the nineties such an influential time, and why it was such an intoxicating decade that no one seems to want to let go of. 
I really enjoyed how this book was organized; each chapter tackles a different element that really influenced the nineties. I also think this book did a really great job of presenting everything: from politics, to culture, to celebrity phenomena. This book provided a really fun stroll down memory lane and was also quite informative to some elements I was unaware of (I was born in 1993, so I do not remember everything). 
It is hard to remember a time before there was internet in every household.
