Summary: Self-important rubbish
Comment: Gaines spent a month in Bergenfield and tried to turn others' pain into her gain. The book reads like her website: Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! She should be ashamed of herself.
Rating: 1
Summary: I went to BHS and I hate this book!
Comment: I don't get it, did the author go to BHS? From the way this book is written, one gets the feeling that author can "feel the pain" of the teens of that time because she lived it. She didn't.
I did.
The author implies that this kind of stuff happens all the time with these burn outs in the ugly town of Bergenfield, what can you expect?
It ripped our town apart, and brought us together.

Summary: Former Bergenfield Burn-Out Hates This Book
Comment: My name is Scott Roberts; and I lived in Bergenfield in 1987; I smoked dope with Cheryl Burress and friends. I was a part of the burn-out "culture" of the time.
This book, Donna Gaines' analysis, and the majority of press reportage about Bergenfield and the mentality and sociology of the people who lived there are flat-out wrong. Gaines' misguided self-serving book is a proof of observer bias; she went in there expecting to see something and when it wasn't there she altered things to make it work the way she wanted.
