Any read or ordered the book "Disney Adults" by AJ Wolfe ?

About 1/3 of the way through the audiobook and I like it. I appreciate AJ's narration.

Stupidest thing ever...self-promoting nonsense.

Hahaha, isn't it crazy? I was really thinking it would go somewhere productive before turning into a several-chapters ad. The first chunk was good! The rest....

I just wish it had kept dealing with demographics, sociology and tourism studies. Maybe compare and contrast between different parks, deal with the current state of media-based consumerism, talk about accessibility, social media, etc. etc. in depth. Buuuuut.... then it just.... turned into an ad lol

Bought the book and am about a quarter through and just can't get into it, it is slightly interesting with the psychology behind the fans and Disney’s use of marketing strategies that tap into it, but feel like we as fans knew that already. I usually like to read psychology studies but frankly have been disappointed in the book so far and it sounds from others that are posting that it will get worse, too bad! I was looking forward to it.
