janhutch 's review for:
Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong About Everything?: When Celebrity Culture and Science Clash
by Timothy Caulfield
This is an interesting treatment of celebrity, and the role it plays in our lives, and the lives of those around us. It’s a little surprising to hear (for example), that some teenagers think that celebrity will make them successful and therefore, they don’t need education. Or that the best way out of poverty is to become famous (not likely). Caulfield writes with depth (52 pages of source material references), and with humour, so the book is easy to read.
It was interesting that I read Hank Green's book An absolutely remarkable thing) just before this (the factionalized account of someone who becomes famous almost overnight, and the impact that had on her life). Green got it right in many ways.
