What happened?
Revisado: 01-10-22
Did she die? When in the book did her death become clear. What was the point of the epilogue? Alice was portrayed as a shallow, appearance obsessed person. The couple’s lewd references to sex detracted from the seriousness of the story. If she wanted to live, why was she always going against doctor recommendation? She seemed very rude to the doctors

Narrator ruins book
Revisado: 11-16-21
This is a well written book. Emily Woo Zeller ruined it for me every time she narrated a male voice.

John Nickel is a black ex-jazz musician who only wants to be a good father. But when his son is taken away from him, he's left with nothing but the Memphis bar he manages. Then he hires Fay, a young white waitress, who has a volatile brother named Carl in tow. Nickel finds himself consumed with the idea of Taft - Fay and Carl's dead father - and begins to reconstruct the life of a man he never met. But his sympathies for these lost souls soon take him down a twisting path into the lives of strangers.

Bad decisions over and over again
Revisado: 09-15-19
The main character in this book makes bad decisions about everything. He lacks common sense and judgement right up to the end of the book when he doesn't go to the hospital. Doesn't anyone in this town use 911? This story asked us to care about the characters when they have only themselves to blame for their problems. Also, please use different narrators in different books. I couldn't get "Run" out of my head every time Fay spoke. Ann Patchett has really let us down with this book..

In Evicted, Princeton sociologist and MacArthur “Genius” Matthew Desmond follows eight families in Milwaukee as they each struggle to keep a roof over their heads. Hailed as “wrenching and revelatory” (The Nation), “vivid and unsettling” (New York Review of Books), Evicted transforms our understanding of poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving one of twenty-first-century America’s most devastating problems. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible.

Incredibly important work
Revisado: 01-05-18
Matthew Desmond reveals an entire area of need that has never before been written about previously. The people in the in the book offer compelling stories of mistreatment by systems that are designed to provide support. Obstacles are so hard to conquer that many have given up. What a sad state we are in. A must read for those of us trying to help families and children.
