Summary: Biased piece of trash
Comment: It is obvious that the authors are biased against the Disney corporation and wish to force their perspective on everyone else. The money I spent to purchase this book could have been better used elsewhere. I wish i could shred the book and send the pieces back to each author. THE ONLY REASON IT RECIEVED ONE STAR IS THAT ZERO WAS NOT AN OPTION. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON PURCHASING THIS PIECE OF TRASH.

Summary: Not For Mouseketeers
Comment: This book was an interesting and informative read. It delves deep into the myths that surround Disney, and exposes many facets of the wonderland that are far from wonderful. This book is not for devout fans of disney, as it seeks to deconstruct the myths surrounding the mouse. I found many of the discoveries to be not only surprising but quite horrifying. It is important as our country moves towards the "disnification" of our culture, that we understand the motivations are not those of fluffy cartoon bunnies but of huge corporations which of course include Disney. Most of the negative reviews I have read for this book come from those that are so grossly loyal to an ideal that a company has sold them that they are unwilling to even listen to a hint of critisizm for it's actions. This is an excellent read, very well written and very informative.

Summary: They Missed the Point
Comment: The authors started their project with the agenda of being critical of Disney. They refused to participate in the experience of "The Mouse" before rejecting it. One author was absolutely horrified when she found herself shopping in the park, and immediately returned to her distanced observer position. The authors treat Disney and those who enjoy it, snobbishly. Yet they frequently fall prey to their own criticisms (the most amusing parts of the book). This book was not "entertaining," nor was it "playful". It seeks to ask why Disney is "the quintessential embodiment of American Leisure" yet it spends more time discussing the parks hiring practices than it does asking or answering this question.
