The Official Slacker Handbook Reviews
-
An utterly delightful walk down Memory Lane. And, yes, "Slacker" is still a brilliant film almost 30 years on. And slacker style is still fun.
-
Stupid. A journalist "who has never known anyone who was completely unemployed" collects a pile of journalistic twaddle & filler about a subject she is deeply, deeply ignorant of, and publishes this silly, fake book.
Avoid. -
An homage to, and playful critique of, slacker culture. If you enjoyed Linklater's Slacker, read Finnegan's Wake, or were acknowledged as a regular at a place that served coffee, this book is required reading. If not, you may want to read it anyway, so as to gain a better appreciation of slackers.
