Hillbilly Elegy
By J.D. Vance
I read this book on the 24th but I still don’t know how to write a review about it.
Reading Vance’s story, I found it extremely touching. The stories of his upbringing are astonishing and eye-opening.
His childhood life was far from ideal and the more we read about his past the more we understand him as who he is today.
The story is set in suburban Ohio where many Hillbillies have relocated for blue-collar jobs. It is about a boy growing up and raised by a family with a “Hillbilly” background. He shares his opinion about his upbringing and the struggles he had to overcome his family.
If you are interested in a provoking book about growing up in a lower-middle clad suburbia over the past 40 years, then this is the book you should read. And anyone who is interested in reading memoirs would love this book.
I can’t wait to watch the movie next.
