I thought the idea about the book was good: living within the lowest working class for a year and seeing where it got you. I simply had problems with the way that Ehrenreich went about it. For example, she started off with $1000 in order to make down payments, always had a car even though the most economical approach would have been public transportation or walking, and that after a month somewhere she got up and went someplace new. She didn't just change jobs, but locations, something that many people would not be able to do. I give her credit for doing what she did, but I cannot honestly say that she succeeded in what she was trying to accomplish. It was well-written, funny, and I think that it was an OK read... I just would have liked it better if it had been slightly more realistic. Although I know that it's hard to get much more realistic than she did.
