Interesting book and arrived in record time!
This book is worth reading even if you don,t like or trust the author who is running for Vice President!He rightfully calls attention to the serious problems which have been long neglected in certain parts of the U,S. Hopefully the next administration will try to do something positive for these unfortunate Americans!Thank you Amazon!

Einfühlsame Biographie
Das Buch im Original zu lesen macht Spaß und ist auch für Nicht-Muttersprachler relativ einfach. J.D. Vance beschreibt detailliert seine Kindheit und seine spätere schulische und professionelle Karriere. Er thematisiert die sozialen Brüche der amerikanischen Gesellschaft und die regionale Chancen-Ungleichheit. Jedoch wird J.D. Vance nie politisch oder gar extremistisch in seinen Ausführungen. Einfach ein Autor, der sein Land und seine Familie liebt.

Livro honesto e impactante
Este é um dos melhores livros que li nos últimos tempos. O autor conta sua trajetória de vida desde quando era uma criança em família pobre no interior dos Estados Unidos até quando se formou em Direito em Yale, uma das mais renomadas faculdades dos EUA.Juntamente com sua história de vida, o autor faz uma análise da cultura das pessoas à sua volta e em como essa cultura reforça o comodismo, prejudica a meritocracia, e torna quase impossível que pessoas pobres tenham chances (e condições) de sair da pobreza.Apesar de o livro aparentemente tratar de uma cultura diferente da nossa, achei que muitas das descrições e análises se aplicam bastante à realidade brasileira.

One of the best books I've read lately
Such a moving, and at times hilarious, memoir. I've learned a lot from this book. It has sincerely changed my life.
