3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. For the dedicated BTTF fanBy Yee-haw TexasFascinating reading and thats why I gave it 5 stars. although some of the essays are stretching it a little with political correctness. and I found some minor errors here and there. But still. if youre as devoted a fan of BTTF as I am. you will be totally absorbed by this book.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Worth every penny!By Dr. MomContrary to the previous review. where price is apparently the only criteria for worth. I found this text to be an amazing collection of essays that not only critically review but re-imagine approaches to one of the most culturally relevant sagas of the 1980s: the Back to the Future movies. The sheer variety of approaches--from philosophy and critical theory to pop culture. music and gender studies--makes this book worth the purchase price. As for the previous reviewer: geez... go get a library card.
