Review of 'Nickel and Dimed' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
It is telling of my own life experiences and class background that I require reading a book like this to understand how so many lives can be lived in this manner. I've never been to England in the 1500s, either - so at least I have books. She goes off the rails in her last section, on Wal-Mart, but overall excellent ethnographic reporting.
