Historia
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.

I couldn't wait to pick up this book but then ...
Revisado: 09-03-23
The audio performer on this book messed it up for me. there was no continuity from the first book to the second as to the characters voices accents Etc. Beverly used a different narrator than the first book. Although the second narrator did an ok job, I found her voices distracting and frustrating because many times they didn't fit the characters ages or gender.
As for the book itself also frustrated me. The timeline of the characters lives from the first book to the second book was all screwed up. Because at the beginning of the book she mentioned that the kids have been there a couple years and then at the end of the book she says that that unlock the end of the first year that Bernadine had lived there.. there were other spots in the book where I noticed the continuity was off. but I must say she's a very good writer in her own right even though I may not get with some of the aspects of the book. I probably will be buying the third book in the series because the original audio performer did that book. I found the book overly simplistic and spots so.

Historia
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Marvelously written
Revisado: 01-17-23
I found this book to be riveting, extremely detailed and real page turner. I felt so honored to actually get this candid REAL, upfront account of his life directly from Prince Harry himself. I never being one too put much if any stock in Media or to even watch the news now for about 2 decades I knew the what information did trickle in through the beast that is ( fake news) was more than likely false. I see now I was right. I've always liked Prince Harry and see him as the brightest light and bravest member of the Royal family. He truly does his mother's name honor ; living as freely as we all should have the ability to choose to live.

I don't think Eric will ever know exactly how much he gives of his heart and soul to us and how much it means. then again maybe he already does that's why he works so hard. thank you

Revisado: 06-27-22
got to the beginning of chapter 5 before I gave up. the unnecessary use of weird pronouns for characters and focus on their LGBTQ+ sexuality totally ruined this book for me. what a shame I was really interested in the storyline but yet again I get another good story ruined by propaganda
