here's a better idea...instead of buying this book, give me $10 and I'll kick you in the nuts. Obviously if you need someone to tell you what to put on a playlist, you are a retard. ALTROCK!

WOW. I cannot believe someone actually gave Sarah Lewittin (one of today's most pretentious wannabe pseudo-celebs) a book deal, and what's worse is that I cannot believe they actually greenlighted this ridiculous idea, to put a bunch of 'recommended' playlists together and call it a book.
Dribbly drivel indeed.
What a waste of $10. I predict this will soon be in 99 cent bargain bins across the county, and even then it would be considered a waste of 99 cents. What a joke both her and this ridiculous excuse for a book are, even in this day and age where any idiot can write a book and anyone can become famous. This in particular really is mind boggling.

But how the hell does this drivel even get published? Think about it.

I am always picking up this book, even to read for fun. I am an amateur DJ and this book has really helped me pick my feet off the ground. This book is perfect for me because I am a teen and only DJ teen partys, lock-ins, and Church functions. My iPod video library has about 75% of these playlists on it and I use all of them! If you like the type of music in this book than it is for you!!!!!

The movie High Fidelity describes my life in many ways. I'm one of those people that can sit around for hours concentrating on making the perfect playlist & mixtapes. HOURS that become DAYS.
That being said, this book is brillant. Lewitinn gives a good look at many genres and gives good ideas for many different playlist. I adore this book & it will stay with me for many years to come.
The only two flaws that I found with this book were the focus on indie pop (although good music). I would have liked to have seen genres varied more on individual list. That, and the constant repitition of some artist is irksome. However, like I said, this book is a tremedous asset.
