Reviews

[Lauren Albert · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book strangely veers between the two "sensations"--he suggests that one can read them separately but why did he put them as he did? I found the accounts a bit confusing in truth. The later essays on the cultural side of sensation were more interesting.
