I personally did not enjoy this book. I felt it lacked any hook or singular narrative that I think strong nonfiction needs. This seemed like a serious of short essays milled together into one long book; I tried to give it a shot, but after 50 pages there wasn't anything that had grabbed my attention enough to warrant continuing it. I personally greatly enjoy nonfiction books; but felt like this was poor story telling. Every sentence had to stress how poor everyone in the book was, there was no room for reader to learn anything or come to their own conclusions. All in all, I did not enjoy this book.
