Babbitt

Customer Reviews

The standardisation in this book is terrifying - By: , 16 Apr 2002
What struck me most about Babbitt was the standardisation of life. Everything was about brand names & getting the best product in order to compete with neighbours.
Floral Heights seemed like it was just a cardboard cutout town with every house replicating the other - same decor, same cars, etc.
This was very scary in some sense & it made me realise how dull life would be if everything was so standardised - or maybe the world we live in is standardised but i am so conditioned to this i hadn't noiticed - i hope i am wrong about this though.
