Title: Buy this book and waste your time!
Review: Stuart Blumin's look into the emergence of the American middle class is nothing more than his desire to see his own words on paper. Time after time, Blumin reiterates points that had been exhausted in previous chapters of his book. The research Blumin did for this book was extensive, but failed to capture the reader's attention. In fact, nothing in this book was written for the reader. It is full of boring diatribes that leave one feeling worse-off for reading. I had fully expected to be challenged and informed by this book, considering the author. Unfortunately, I was left with the understanding that Blumin just really likes to publish books. I would rather shave my entire body with an old cheese grater and be dipped in rubbing alcohol than have to suffer through this book again.
