Helpful Score: 2


Not what I expected. The author talks with important people in his life and weaves in his own story, the former was interesting and the latter not so.

I get it, I get it....men and capitalism are evil, put down your hammer, my head hurts.

I did enjoy this novel for describing life during the tumultuous social changes of the industrial revolution and I appreciate the impact this novel must have enjoyed when it came out. I did not enjoy the heavy handed writing and messaging.
