dreamofbookspines's review against another edition
3.0
The content was interesting, ngl. Yes, it's depressing and heavy and full of terrible people, but as someone who grew up nowhere near these types of circumstances, I was unable to put it down. Vance is a competent writer and makes some good points, even if they are hurtful to the people whom his book is about.
