challenging dark emotional informative reflective medium-paced

1.25

This was hot garbage. I started reading this to see if I could figure out what is going on in this mans head - and it was not very helpful. J.D. Vance brags about a lot of things that he shouldn't, and it becomes more and more obvious throughout the book that he is just severely troubled. I wouldn't really recommend this book to anyone.

asterius's review against another edition

dark medium-paced

Please read actual literature on the history of Appalachia if you want to understand the region, and not the warblings of a silicon valley millionaire upset with poor people for not having enough initiative.

While you're getting other books, read Hillbilly Reckoning, for thorough responses to this book by actual advocates and historians.
