Thoughtful, provoking, interesting and funny. Vance does a good job of painting a picture of growing up in poverty and ignorance. He does not offer solutions to the problems facing "hillbilly" or "working class" Americans but he does show us the traps in our system that help them fail as well as a glimpse of their mindset given their everyday challenges. And he should know--he grew up as one! I liked his passion, candor, and vivid storytelling. Great for a bookclub discussion.
