Book Reviews of Worlds Of Pain
Book Review: Anecdotal and entertaining, but limited.
Summary: 3 Stars
This book would probably be a lot of use to a writer or screenwriter who was researching the working-class family in the early 70s. The stories are interesting and the writing is fluid and compelling. It gives a good slice of life from several perspectives.It *might* be of interest to a historian as anecdotal material, but it's good to note that this is a small sample of interviews carried out by a writer who obviously had her own agenda with the subject matter.
I bought it second-hand and don't regret the time to read it.
