Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance
informative
reflective
medium-paced
3.0
I cannot in good conscience give Vance a higher rating due to his shitty politics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.
