I'm surprised I didn't enjoy this as much as I expected to. The message seemed good, although a little basic: thinking is good, the erosion of thought by TV is bad. I think I am judging the book in context now, with many points further to this having been made, although I can see that it may have been more powerful in its time. 
 Overall, it's a good book, although reading it now is not nearly as thought provoking as I had hoped.
