Book Review of The Culture of Fear: Why Americans Are Afraid of the Wrong Things

The Culture of Fear: Why Americans Are Afraid of the Wrong Things
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 7


Reading this book was an eye-opening experience. Just finding out that no one had ever actually been poisoned by a stranger with Halloween candy really opened my eyes to how Americans are inundated with messages about fearing things that aren't real threats while we don't hear anything about the things that are real problems in our society. This book is a must-read!
