Negative Positive
Title: Well written, Provocative
Review: Above All, B. E. is an excellent writer whose prose style alone kept me reading. Her topic was as interesting as it gets, although I will admit to be biased in that I was in the situation of having low paying jobs and barely making ends meet (despite my education background, I might add). I am shocked by the poor living conditions and the amount of mental abuse suffered daily by these hardworking people. Of particular interest to me is E's commentary on the health and diet of these "working poor" and how poverty pushes them into, for example, unhealthy, fast-food dominated eating habits that the public generally deplores and characterizes as slovenly and irresponsible. (Consider how society criticizes the overweight.)Not much thought is given to those whose poor diets are dictated by homelessness, lack of a kitchen and utensils, and no health insurance. This book is a must-have.
