    This may be Kirstens best book yet
  

*by M***F on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2014*

I must confess that I am a bit of a Tikiphile and I owe a lot of what I know to Sven's other works (The Book of Tiki and Tiki Modern), much like the reviewer above I was a little hesitant about Tiki Pop. I wondered what Kirsten could possible bring to light after his previous books, but being such a fan of the genre I purchased the book anyway. I have to say that not only has Kirsten expanded on the knowledge he dropped in his other books, he has created something that can stand on it's own as well and perhaps the best "art" book of his trilogy. The sheer amount of content is overwhelming and could take a very long to time to truly digest and appreciate. Something that I've personally been enjoying is the section devoted to the pre-tiki period as well as the one devoted to the magic of film sets and how that crossed over into restaurant and bar decorating. All of these are elements that Kirsten has touched upon in his other books, but here he gives new and more detailed insight into how all of these elements stood on their own and then helped to create the wonderfully American Polynesian Pop culture known as Tiki. Of course (like all of Kirstens books) every page is filled with amazing photographs and vintage artwork detailing the development of the style and culture, which brings me to the physical beauty of this book. Taschen always does a wonderful job, but Tiki Pop is truly a masterpiece. From the color saturation of the images to the paper itself everything about this book says quality. It's not just an art book, but a work of art in itself that can be handed down for generations. Whether you are already interested/involved in Tiki/Polynesian pop culture, new to the subject or just looking for an orgy for your eyes Tiki Pop will not disappoint.

    The photos are eye candy for the soul and the words are enlightening thoughts for the mind
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2014*

A "must have" book, not just for the followers of the Polynesian Pop/Tiki movement in America but for all American History and American nostalgia buffs as well.  Thought provoking on the Polynesian influence in America, not just during the mid-century post WWII era but also the pre WWII Polynesian influence and history on the North American continent. The book covers the "South Seas" cinema genre as well.  If anyone doubted this Pacific Island influence on American, Kristen and his collaborators have drawn more than enough evidence to prove otherwise.  Between all three of his books, including "The Book of Tiki" and "Tiki Modern", also by Taschen, this influence is fascinating.  A look into the subconscious of America, questioning the American dream of having a family, owning a home a getting a well-paid job OR escaping from it!  These faux Polynesian temples of bars, restaurants, theme parks, motel resorts or bowling alleys were the perfect escape and it is making a comeback thanks to books like Tiki Pop. The photos within, like many Taschen books are eye-candy for the mind and soul.  Five Stars!

    SNAP CRACKLE POP-LICIOUS!
  

*by Y***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2015*

It is truely a weighty book, on substance contained within, and sheer poundage, HEAVY!  BEAUTIFUL! and LARGE!  This book is one third larger than the book of tiki, an imch and a half thick and your coffee table would be proud to showcase this book that lives-up to that term, which this book exceeds in spades.  I like the curated, museum aspect of this book, the larger format allows your eyes to really enjoy it, at a whole new level. I did notice that there were some sprinkles of some pictures used in the other books, but this was a good thing, shown much larger, as full-page in some cases.  This is a historical account of tiki, where it came from and where it's been. Thoroughly entertaining, interesting and a delight to anyone, whether you are into tiki nr not.  I personally like the book of tiki and tiki pop equally, but all three books stand on their own.
