A review by viprholmes
The People of the Abyss by Jack London, Nonfiction, Social Issues, Homelessness & Poverty by Jack London

5.0

Shocking yet true, this sometimes sensitive, sometimes snarky peek behind the cheapside life of the poor of the early 1900s is a surprisingly easy read. London makes an enourmous amount of social history accessible. It's an emotional read, make no mistake, but i was unable to put it down.
