review 1: I read this recently and (of course) it seemed dated, but there are some events that she brings up that are relevant. Overall, this read to me like a collection of rants that were based on facts and then just extrapolated, so to me it just seemed too polemic and not as analytic as I would have wanted. That was not her intent, I don't think, so partly that is my expectation. I do think that she was spot on in some of her criticisms and I will be reading her other books on my shelf (such as Nickled and Dimed) to see if they are better.
review 2: The author got a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong. Where she was right, she was sickeningly smug and where she was wrong was downright sickening. I didn't appreciate the Michael Moorean approach of prese... morenting facts that agree with you and supressing ones that don't. Also, it was not pleasant to sit through hours of tedious pessimism only to end the book with no real positive solutions. less
