Nobody liked this book. It was overly long and repetitive, badly in need of a good editor. It flipped between a factual historical account and standing on a soapbox spouting unsubstantiated opinions. It presented a scathing picture of a long-term underclass in this 'classless' society, but gave not a hint of how to solve the problem.

But.

It triggered so much discussion that the librarian had co come in and kick us out so they could close up.
