Love this book, very pleasant read and it's easy enough for non-native English speaker to enjoy.
Anyone who has lived in NYC would find it especially fascinating as one knows how messed up the city can be if the trash weren't picked up in time. The book also talks about the huge storm in 2010, which many New Yorker had experienced., from the Sanitation workers' perspective.
