In many ways, this is both a heart breaking and hopeful book. The people the author profiles are making the best of situations they find them selves in not because of bad choices, but because in the U.S. people are disposable. They have made bold choices and are willing to do things that no one should be asked to do, especially in a country with as much wealth as this one.
It is fair to say there is a great deal of depressing content in this book, and necessarily so. But the chapter that describes working on the floor of a giant Amazon warehouse is incongruously hilarious. Not cheerful or forgiving of that corporation’s evils, just humorously descriptive of an absurd situation. There are a few other light moments throughout the book, too.
