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

3.0

This was a good memoir. Vance dealt with a serious topic with respect and facts, bringing in his own story as backup for his claims. I wasn't as moved as most people were, but I did think he accurately discussed topic(s) at hand and his story was compelling. I have heard that certain schools use this memoir as a way to teach sociology and I think this is a good resource to do so. A good memoir with interesting topics, I recommend others give it a try.
