It's a work of non-fiction reportage that follows Ehrenrich as she tries to live as a low-wage worker in the 1990s. What's worse is the author's recent statements that she would literally be unable to write the same book today, as even those pitiful jobs she worked at no longer exist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14857092.post-67985125677893535142011-09-27T08:06:02.386-07:002011-09-27T08:06:02.386-07:00The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven is o...The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven is one of my favorite books.

As young adult fiction goes, you will not find a more scathing indictment of our media/reality television culture. It also kicks Twilight's sorry ass.
