Book Review of Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America

Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 3


I really didn't like this book. The author seemed to have issues with minorites and while it makes for a okay story, it's a far cry from the truth. She seemed to try to make things harder for herself. It is hard to live on low wages but it is doable. I worked for Walmart for 3 years and I'll admit they do pay awful wages but I could go on and on about the difference in the book and the "real" world.
