I was really looking forward to this book but felt let down. The content was fine, but the writing style came off as dry. I thought it would be more lively given the subject matter. For me, it didn’t capture the urgency of the topic as I'd hoped. I might suggest it to friends who enjoy academic reads, though.

Interesting Ideas, But Slower Pace
While I found some parts of 'How We Entertained Ourselves into a State of Emergency' really intriguing, there were sections where the pace dragged a bit. It’s a unique perspective on entertainment in tough times, but I felt like it could have been more engaging. Still, I appreciate the topic and the research behind it.
