A review by memeganne
Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance

dark reflective medium-paced

2.5

If Vance could focus on his personal story rather than extrapolating and playing amateur sociologist, this book may have been worth the read. 

As it stands, while his recollections of his childhood and experiences overcoming poverty are admittedly compelling, this is tainted by his current lack of a moral centre and spine.
