The book is intense I’m it’s descriptions of poverty and the food industry in the early 1900s. Parts of the book are unsettling and difficult to read because they are trauma spawning events for the main character

It was wordy and hard to follow. However, it spoke about issues facing Americans during the 1900s. It highlighted unfair working conditions and living conditions. This is also the perfect example of Murphy's Law.
