What Does A Purple Jelly Band Mean? Teen Dreams: Reading Teen Film and Television from 'Heathers' to 'Veronica Mars'


New book for my collection: Teen Dreams: Reading Teen Film and Television from 'Heathers' to 'Veronica Mars' , Roz Kaveney. What is this? For an analysis of series and films in which the protagonists are teenagers and all the problems that arise (virginity, drug abuse, alcohol ...), and the exceeded, suffer, the image they project to viewer, how to promote products, growthan a new image, are launching pads for new players or what their place in the "American Dream."
I have not started reading it but when I can I will (happy exams), I have seen many films and series that the book show and think it might be interesting.

That was not the only book added to my shelf
Television Without Pity: 752 Things We Love to Hate (and Hate to Love) About TV by Tara Arino, is also in my hands for little. It is an encyclopedia about television in the United States created by the web of TWP, it is very interesting and fun, his analysis of some issues that recur in the series are very good, the only complaint is that I putought to be doing a second part because it lacks many series that now fill pages and pages to be Lost, Heroes ... but that when they created the book this series were not yet on the air.
