Liked It2 of 2 members found this review helpful “Well, I don't see how you could read this and not have your life be changed, at least a little bit. Eye-opening look at how corporations and brands are trying to cover our landscape and enter every corner of our lives, and how we, for the most part, meekly let them.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“Great insight for the layman how advertising works.... To bad the author injects so many of her own personal views into the book.. it wouldve been 1000 times more effective with the person opinion”

“No Logo, an incisive and insightful report from the frontlines of mounting backlash against multinational corporations, explains why some of the most revered brands in the world are finding themselves on the wrong end of a bottle of spray paint, a computer hack, or an international anti-corporate campaign.

“Good insight on consumerism. Lightly philosophical..unjustifiebly long :) Good book, i'd recommend it to anyone whos into advertising, or to any of my agency's clients :)) Sincerity sells i always say, and solid background gives birth to a solid present.”

Yes | No“I should concede I like Naomi Klein's writings but this was the first complete book I read and I liked it. I have always been concerned about too much brand invasion in our lives but now as a mom I am more worried than ever before. What I liked about the book was that it was not simply brand-bashing but brought out all the underlying issues which should concern everyone (loss of jobs, loss of space, lack of equity). I would've loved to see more about Dow and the Bhopal Gas Tragedy. Not many solutions are outlined - other than saying get involved and be aware. Overall worth reading because she has some interesting things to say and is an easy read. I am now going to read Shock Doctrine.”
