PositiveThe New York Times Book ReviewThe title gives the impression that [Duffy] wants to dynamite the whole idea of dividing people into generations. In fact, he offers a careful dissection of such \'generational thinking\' that rejects lazy myths and superficial punditry in favor of a more nuanced analysis of the factors that shape long-term changes in attitudes and behavior ... Before reading this book, I assumed that generational analysis had no value whatsoever. Duffy shows that it actually does, provided it is done carefully. Alas, despite his valiant efforts, overgeneralizations are unlikely to go away. But whether you are a skeptic or a believer in the idea that a generational label has meaning, you will learn something from this amusing and informative book.
