This book is an odd combination of history, sociology, and memoir. Author Eric Nelson recounts his vertigo at the opening of Mall of America, the greatest tourist attraction in the United States, and uses this as an opportunity to create a dialogue with all things American. Stories from Indian casino workers, Jerry Siegel's recollections of creating Superman, the odd goings-on at a wedding that took place inside the mall, and more come together to create a truly unusual literary venture. Nelson uses the mall as a geographical and economic locus to tell the story of how the U.S. came to be the consumer-friendly pseudo-world that it is today. --James DiGiovanna

Pop Culture Cliches and Age Old TruismsThis was an attempt at being clever. It provided many colorful examples of the things most urban dwellers come to realize by age 10. Packed full of common sense observations that could enlighten only the typical unaware suburban consumer.
I believe this book was an effort by the author (likely a typical suburban consumer) to share a recent personal discovery, US Econimic Policy = Careless Consumerism.
Though I am certain that the author was entertained, as clever as this book was written; with its lack meaningful insight, it makes better fiction that anything.
An engaging cultural guide to the Mall of AmericaThis book is more than a description of the Mall of America, more than an analysis of economics or a sociological treatise. It's all of these, with excursions into history, philosophy, and theology; interviews with people both "normal" and quirky; and amusing nuggets of observation about things as diverse as superheroes and buying clothing for your wife.
For example, one chapter, "The Whirlwind," begins with quotes from Laura Ingalls Wilder and the Book of Job. It moves through our attempts to control the weather (knots tied by Shetland Island fishermen, the Weather Modification Advisory Board), and touches on both George Washington and the Donner Party, arriving finally at Minnesota weather and the reason for Malls. The chapter ends with the story of the eccentric entrepreneur behind the Rainforest Cafe: "For the time being, Steve Schussler, who studied Darwin in the school of hard knocks, has found a niche in its neon jungle."
On a trip to the Mall with Eric Nelson be prepared for unexpected encounters and surprising insights. You'll return home entertained and satisfied.
An entertaining, analytical look at the Mega-mallIt's not often that a piece of nonfiction sets me to pondering at the same time it entertains and instructs, but that's the nature of this wondrous book on Minnesota's mall of malls. Eric Nelson is a magician here, conjuring up surprises -- sparkling background tidbits connected tightly or loosely to this giant shopping community -- before our very eyes. Carefully researched, thoughtfully linked to issues important to our consumerist culture, sprinkled with astute sketches of people who spend or make their money at the mall, this book helps make sense of why this overwhelming midwestern biosphere became an overwhelming success.

Worth the priceMalhotra neatly sums up many of the myths and trends of this mysterious discipline. He echoes the thoughts and captures the business spirit of futurists, industrialists and risk takers.
His advanced vocabulary may be hard for some readers to follow, but I have found that discussing the book's ideas in my work group stimulates productive exchanges that lead to clearer understanding of our business strategy and context.
