Media Reviews
Generation Multiplex represents an important contribution to our understanding of the relationship between youth and the mass media, in this case movies. From both a personal and a professional perspective, I welcome this work which builds on themes and issues I addressed in The Cinema of Adolescence in 1985. - David Considine, from the Foreword
