A review by knittyreader
Five Hundred Poor by Noah Milligan

5.0

I received a free copy through Netgalley, in return for an honest review.

If anything, the stories in this book are surprising. They're all different, but all have the same, gritty layer of some kind of poverty over them. Poverty in money, social poverty, mental poverty. People might seem to overcome one kind of it, but not the other.

The stories are fast-paced in a good way. They open the worlds of the characters in a way that shows how poor people can be.
