Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
reviewed on + 23 more book reviews


The book is great. Many people live this way and are viewed as lower than snakes bellies because of their circumstances. The only fault with the book is that the author wasn't able to spend some real time trying to live this way. Her time was up when it was just in the nick of time to bail her out. Someone should try living this way in a hell on earth job for more than a month and know what it is like to live on one meal a day and that being Top Ramain noodles.
