| Comments |
Although this book is American, the basic information and subheadings are extremely relevant. Since this is the only recent book available on Teen culture it is very helpful as a starting point. The films discussed are very well known American classic teen films so they are easily identifiable.
The book's introduction is very useful outlining the basic premise behind 'Teen flicks' (ex, construction, themes, concerns)
