Reviews

Through its focus on the cultural phenomenon that is Game of Thrones, Finn's collection is a timely exploration of the ways in which audiences not just consume but interact with cultural texts in the social media age. --Aimee Burns Media Education Journal Incredibly timely. . . . [The book] will delight fans and academics alike. . . . Finn assumed the challenge of taking a pop culture icon and transforming it into a topic worthy of scholarly discourse. Fan Phenomena: Game of Thrones is no doubt a success, and an important one, proving that popular culture is ripe for study in academia. --Fashion, Style & Popular Culture
