A review by sarah_lynggaard
Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond
informative
3.75
i liked this it’s very informative
i will say at times it feels a little unorganised. there is of course a wealth of information and statistics about poverty and its causes in the US but sometimes the constant new statistics made the text feel incoherent and the chapters not rlly what they were about. kind of like “oh wait and this and this and don’t forget this”
it’s also not narrative non fiction at all meaning it’s just facts on facts, more academic than bringing you along on a journey if that makes sense so if you don’t have a real interest in poverty in america and it’s causes i wouldn’t recommend
