"Nickel and Dimed" was a great book. I enjoyed reading it a lot. Although I didn't think the author was completely objective in her approach, I certainly do agree with her.
I believe that the reading load was a little steep for our first book. we have other classes
I thought it was a great book too. It made me open my eyes to that type of lifestyle. I thought Ehrenreich was very brave to try something like that. I don’t think I could go from being a successful journalist to a waitress or a worker at Wal-Mart = [.
I have to be honest, I didn't follow the book as well as I'd hoped. I mean, it did open my eyes to the poverty and struggles people experience, but I'll have to agree with Scott, I thought it was a lot of reading.
"Nickel and Dimed" was a an easy quick read. I did not like the way Ehrenreich insisted that this was a journalistic take on her experience. I felt it was largely biased to her point of view, which is fine once admitted. I do feel as though textual and critical analysis of the work was done for us in the afterward chapter and worksheets assigned to us.
I whole heartedly agree with Dave, and then some. I have no problem with blatantly subjective op-ed pieces, but please don’t call it journalism. I think that society would be better served if people were honest about their motives and biases.
