Super Pop! Pop Culture
Top Ten Lists
Daniel Harmon
BIBLIO:2013, Zest Books,
12 & Up, $16.99.
REVIEWER:Kristi Bernard
FORMAT: Young Adult
ISBN: 9781936976362
Pop culture is alive and
well in the world we live in. Each year those movies, music, books
and art are pinned to a pop culture category and left there for later
review. We all have our coined phrases and we get those from our
favorite movies and songs. But soon, like most thing they wear thin
and are put away to make room for the next sensation or trend. But,
there is no need to fret, “Super Pop” has brought all of those
old favorites back to life. This lively collection is organized by
five categories, thoughtfully referred to as “self-improvement”
subjects.
The intent is for the
reader to feel good and learn something new. The first part of the
book lists movies and television shows of all genres in which the
reader is given interesting tidbits about the people behind the
scenes, the actors and directors along with the cultural aspects.
Some old favorites are mentioned, for example, Jacques Cousteau,
South, Gorillas in the Mist and Doctor Who. Newer mentions are Casino
Royale, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Game of Thrones and Downton
Abbey. There is also a section with ten suggestions on how to fix pop
culture. The interesting factoids that can be found within these
pages are also accompanied by cartoon-like drawings and black and
white photos from movies.
The back of the book has
more resources for the reader just in case they didn't get enough
information. According to Harmon, “There are a lot of things going
on in this book. There are words, there are numbers, there are lists,
there are illustrations, and there are probably some typo-os, too,
but there are also, beneath and above all that, a genuine desire to
turn readers on to exciting new things and under appreciated old
things and to make entertainment edifying.” Readers will be
entertained as they browse through the pages. Old and young alike
will recognize many of their favorite bits of pop culture history.
This is a lively and humorous read fit for any home library.
