The perfect book for anyone with a Netflix account and a library card."A real live cultural argument. Fun and funny, yes, but also surprising, moving, and thoughtful." - NPR"Smart, sharp, and hilarious, Slaughterhouse 90210 is the perfect pick-me-up and never-put-me-down book." - Jami Attenberg, bestselling author of The MiddlesteinsSlaughterhouse 90210 pairs literature's greatest lines with pop culture's best moments. In 2009, Maris Kreizman wanted to combine her fierce love for pop culture with a lifelong passion for reading, and so the blog Slaughterhouse 90210 was born. By matching poignant passages from literature with popular moments from television, film, and real life, Maris' work instantly caught the attention (and adoration) of thousands. And it's easy to see why. Slaughterhouse 90210 is subversively brilliant, finding the depth in the shallows of reality television, and the levity in Lahiri. A picture of Taylor Swift is paired with Joan Didion's quote, "Above all, she is the girl who 'feels things'. The girl ever wounded, ever young." Tony Soprano tenderly hugs his teenage son, accompanied by a line from Middlemarch about, "The patches of hardness and tenderness [that] lie side by side in men's dispositions." The images and quotes complement and deepen one another in surprising, profound, and tender ways. With over 150 color photographs from some of popular culture's most iconic moments, Kreizman shows why comparing Walter White to Faust makes sense in our celebrity obsessed, tv crazed society.

“She discovered with great delight that one does not love one‘s children just because they are one‘s children but because of the friendship formed while raising them. — Gabriel Garcia Márquez, Love In The Time Of Cholera [page 29 in Slaughterhouse 90210 by Maris Kreizman]

This was fantastic. Great for book nerds and lovers of pop culture. Well suited for a coffee table book or fun gift as it's mainly pictures and captions.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (out of 5). I really loved this book. I thought it went beyond just humor to some profound, moving places. The only thing I didn't care for was the appendix explaining the quotes. I would have preferred it left up to interpretation. But still, this was inspiring - bring on the sequel!

Stephen King and In Cold Blood, two my favorite things in all of literature. This book gets me.

Sorry, I just had to do a tiny little bit of self-promo. It stops now!
