Title: Half the Effort of an Investigative Journalist.
Review: I read this book a few years ago for one of my classes in college.The idea: a woman would give up all of the privilege and comforts of life to investigate the impoverished masses of America. Sounds brilliant, except the execution and dedication Ehrenreich puts into the book is sickeningly low.In the beginning, she sets rules to safeguard herself from actual injury or any dangerous situation, but it turns into an easy cop out whenever Ehrenreich was presented with a situation that was unappealing to her, yet these situations would have vastly improved the read for the audience and improved our gained knowledge from her experience. It may be that I have an unpopular opinion of investigative journalism, but I feel like if you're going to commit to something like this you have to commit with a Hunter S. Thompson level of dedication.Bottom-line: Fantastic idea, but poorly executed.
