Book Review of Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America

Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


Great idea for a book, but the author is amazingly offensive.
"Jesus...the wine guzzling vagrant and precocious socialist"
"at the low end of the literary spectrum, which is where most of our clients dwell, I find Grisham and Limbaugh"
"worry that Latinos might be hogging all the crap jobs and substandard housing for themselves, as they so often do"
As well as virtually giving directions on how to "fudge" a clean pee sample.
Not what I was interested in reading when I picked up this book.
