A review by vsbedford
Cigarette Lighter by Jack Pendarvis

3.0

A jumpy, scattershot look at the cigarette lighter as a cultural icon - there's a lot of "Look at this! And what about that!" in the organization of the piece that takes some getting used to. I think I would have appreciated a deeper dive into one of the topics Mr. Pendarvis touches upon (say, lighters in Humphrey Bogart movies), but there's enough here to spark a reader's interest in pursuing a subject matter on his or her own.

I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
