Terrible! Does not reflect the true nature of the time period in which it's written. I believe it may have been initially penned for an advanced degree/ dissertation of some subject matter - perhaps Sociology. It is very poorly written - poorly edited. Don't waste one's time, effort, or money.

Misleading

Thought I was buying a book. This is a very brief synopsis of the actual book. Waste of time and money. Just get the book.

Hillbilly Elegy is one of the worst books ever. Written by one who is against what women stand for. DO NOT read the book.
