Anyone who can tell the two Petes apart, still knows the Macarena by heart, or remembers when reality television was about more than late-night partying will enjoy this nostalgic tour of the 1990s. It revisits a decade when Beanie Babies looked like a sensible investment and fashion meant wearing your trousers backward. Whether you lived through the wagon-trail computer game or dreamed of attending a famous politician's dance party, you'll see which toys, snacks and fads endured and which quickly faded. Part trip down memory lane and part candid look at the decade's odder choices, it invites readers to tie back their hair, grab a sugary drink and revisit the trends that were wonderful and the ones that were less so.
