Summary: Thank you!
Comment: As a graduate student going for my masters I just want to thank you for this intriguing, in-depth, and amazing book. I have been researching Barbie for the past three months now and thankfully found this book that was a godsend in helping me analyze this icon of American culture. As for the past review I can't help but wonder what school this professor teaches at because I would like to warn his or her students to drop the class! Sounds more of an immature high school student with a grudge than of high-class well-educated professor. If you wish to dive into the world of Barbie this is the book for you!

Summary: Barbie has lots to say
Comment: Ladies, remember your Barbie doll? What hopes did she inspire within you? What dreams did she tap into? Kristin Weissman relates them all in this well-researched tome that takes us back to our childhood, and challenges us to remember why we found Ms. Barbie so fascinating and endearing. And men, admit that you, too, were somewhat fascinated with this beautiful doll, your sister's playmate. What did Barbie teach us women? Lots! And, according to Ms. Weissman, the feminine idol and mystique really was meant to move young women to new things. Hurrah! Ms. Weissman eloquently captures Barbie as icon, image, and ideal. Barbie was more to us than a doll. Our Barbie dolls, whether we admit it or not, understand it or not, helped to make us strong women, ready to take on the world. The author understands this and challenges the reader to acknowledge the early influences that have shaped us. Hurrah, Barbie! Hurrah, Kristin Weisszman. This book is required reading for women AND men who want to understand pop culture, the roots of feminism, and a part of the past that has molded us to be women of this new millennium who want it all. A modern girl, Barbie continues to challenge us, make us think, and strive to have it all. Read this book!

Summary: I also think this is Undergraduate thesis...
Comment: It's really hard to understand why this has got a series of 5 star rating...
I feel really sorry to say that "this is really disappointing book" because I had been looking forward to read it.
But this only provides poor analysis, poor theoretical ground, and poor argument.
Yes, there are surely lots of things to say about Barbie, but I think you can chose another books.
