Book Reviews of Gig: Americans Talk About Their Jobs

Book Review: A Great Read!
Summary: 5 Stars

People from every walk of life talk about their jobs, their lives. The pieces read like very short - short stories - but they're true! Funny, sad, wonderful, heartening. I really enjoyed this book!

I find myself going back to re-read the interviews. This is really a fantastic book. Great reading for bedtime, on the plane, or anytime at all.
