I am a little disappointed to hear that it was too subjective to be a sociology read yet he did not include any personal growth, making it more of a memoir read. Both genres are interesting to me, though, so I still might try this one. He has a lot of spunk (for a family-friendly word) to interview people about their poverty all random like that. I would probably be suspicious of him too if I was one of the neighborhood residents. .-= Rebecca´s last blog ..<a href="http://imlostinbooks.blogspot.com/2009/07/tss-june-round-up.html" rel="nofollow">TSS: June Round-Up!</a> =-.

I haven't gotten around to reading it because I sort of purchased A LOT of books (lol) but am glad to have read a review by someone since it was such a impulse buy.

It's interesting that the guys didn't seem bothered by the lack of development. I wonder hat that's about. This looks good, if a little dark and depressing.
