Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

Simply Inspiring
Revisado: 01-24-20
As the book expatiates on the norms and mores in a working lower-middle class white America, it narrowly dodges equating such life to the unnatural hardship deliberately fudged against blacks by a white governed America. The later chapters are quite inspiring by telling the impact of vision with hard work in breaking notorious familia and community ginks.

Ellenberg chases mathematical threads through a vast range of time and space, from the everyday to the cosmic, encountering, among other things, baseball, Reaganomics, daring lottery schemes, Voltaire, the replicability crisis in psychology, Italian Renaissance painting, artificial languages, the development of non-Euclidean geometry, the coming obesity apocalypse, Antonin Scalia's views on crime and punishment, the psychology of slime molds, what Facebook can and can't figure out about you, and the existence of God.

Very mathematical...
Revisado: 01-11-20
I don’t like mathematics and this book is majorly about math than real life application. The book still used statistical analysis when trying to apply math to real life. If you love mathematics go for this book. I rated this book 3 stars because it’s useful for anyone that is mathematically oriented but super useless if you are already navigating your life without thinking it’s mathematics.

I am more scared than ever.
Revisado: 11-16-19
I love the scary story line. How he spied on the agency that employed him and how he became wanted. I love the way he warned us about the internet and at the same time he tells us it’s secure now. He doesn’t seem to give us any precise solutions. Leaving us in a subtle limbo. I gave this book 4 out 5 because of the danger he went through for all of us. And I would recommend this book to everyone looking for some clues on how to keep their private life private. Thank you.

I have not seen any writing this in-depth, concise and succinct on the missing girls answering the questions what happened? When it happened? Why we don’t have any details? And What stage we are on this... I really thank the author of this book for her effort. This things happen and sadly this is a true life story... I hope she won’t relent on her effort to lend her voice to the release of the remaining 112. Thanks once more...

In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites listeners into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her - from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work to her time spent at the world's most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it - in her own words and on her own terms.

Comprehensive story her excellency’s excellent time before and during presidency.
Revisado: 02-05-19
The book is complete and I would recommend it to millennials. It tells how excellence could still be achieved in a subtle but assured way, ignoring conspiracy theories about reasons we can’t make it.
