stephenvhenn 's review for:
Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There
by David Brooks
David Brooks has written a very compelling, humorous, and interesting book detailing the 'modern American elite'. It is incredibly well written and convincing in its presentation, yet very accessible. Some of the chapters go onto long and others are too short (the chapter on religion was much to short). But overall, this book does a good job of depicting America.
One major criticism I had was about the new modern America. The book is dated, written in 2000, and as such America has changed. Are the Bobo's still in power? Is America a land of moderates? Looking at the contemporary issues, the answer seem to be no.
