Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis

3.5 really. The first half o the book was really great. A cold, but emotional view of the neglected part of American society. What made it so good was how personal it was. And in the same time drawing a picture (probably somehow subjective) of the world poor people in the Appalachian live. What made it good, in the second part of the book flawed it as well. Focused too much on ‘I' and authors ventures outside of the books main context. I understand how it connects together, but felt as unnecessary. The writing style isn't great either and it is especially visible in those parts where author doesn't focus on his family and it's environment. I wasn't also thrilled about the patriotic notes close to the end.
All in whole, I enjoyed the read and learned something new. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in American culture.
