[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found it to be an intereting personal memoir, but didn't think it analyzed/explained the group as a whole which was what I was expecting. [/quote] I was underwhelmed by the thin analysis of the causes and factors that keep these families down. I also feel like there was something more fundamental in JD Vance's experiences that he withheld in the book. He still clings too much to some of the values and, frankly, myths of being a hillbilly but at the same time suggests that the scars from it are very deep which makes you wonder why he went back?[/quote]
