My only minor criticism of this book is that the pace of the writing slows a bit towards the very end.

Her discussions concerning media representation facillitate her analysis of the moral panics that surrounded the 'acid house' boom. She also considers the way in which 'New Age Travellers' were represented as 'folk devils' before going on to ... Read More:
