a fast, funny, interesting read (I only read one section thus far, but it was around 70 pages and took me less than an hour).

Just read this for a class. pretty interesting. The first part is her working in a few restaurants in the Florida Keys, the second part as a maid outside of Portland, Maine, and the third at Wal-Mart in Minnesota. There are a few funny parts, Ehrenreich is pretty sarcastic.

Everytime the UNC Campus Republicans go apeshit over a book, I buy it and read it. I've yet to be disappointed.

Pretty good, not great.
I read it a few years ago. She did about as good a job as she could have to make things realistic.
