emotional sad tense slow-paced

3.0

excellent source for understanding poverty in a more intimate and human way. overall the story desmond tells is confusing and kind of all over the place. few stories actually have a beginning middle and end ?? i understand that they’re real stories tho and that’s not always possible. very good book though!

One of the best non-fiction books I've read. Tells the story of eviction not just with numbers, but with human stories.
