From School Library Journal
Adult/High School–An engagingly snarky introduction to the genre, including film reviews that range from Highly Recommended to Avoid at All Costs and So Bad It's Good. The critiques are divided into categories that pretty much match the subtitle. The longest are of easily obtained movies, while those that are more obscure have shorter reviews. Each one includes the film's Most Spectacular Moment of Carnage. The extras, like Don't Be a Hero: The Disaster Movie's Hardest Lesson or The Most Ridiculous Disaster Movie Concepts Ever, are also entertaining. Art includes black-and-white stills, movie posters, and cartoons, as well as a color insert of some remarkable posters. For anyone who loves a good disaster flick–or a bad one, for that matter–this is an invaluable resource.–Susan Salpini, formerly at TASIS–The American School in England
