Hillbilly Elegy is a very bold memoir of a family in particular and perhaps every family in general. It is a gripping description of the culture of Appalachian whites in USA and what essentials the families lack and give into drug addiction and divorce and give up on anything even before beginning it. The memoir of J D Vance highlights the ills of irresponsible families and although it focuses around the working class in and around his hometown yet the story holds true across countries and continents as the family culture of yore is degrading all over the globe. It carries a very important message which people in the modernized and modernizing world must wake up to.
We give the passionate book an 19 in a scale of 20. A must read.
