rating:
This book is 8 years old, but accurately catches this new class of Americans that's somewhat the green Green Hills Mall shopper. To critize this group too harshly would be hypocritical because I fit the description in many ways. The BoBo (Bohemian Bourgeois) loves the environment, despises "the man", praises authenticity, seeks balance in life, makes a lot of money and spends it on himself. Spending $500,000 on a brick mansion in the suburbs would be obscene to the BoBo, but spending that much or more on a renovated historic urban home or a self-sustaining organic farmhouse would be praise worthy.
