I read this fresh from seeing the movie. The book is so much more. I was astounded that such a place could exist in wonderful America! I had thought such slums could only exist in England--in the Old World. This is a very shocking history, not a novel. Today we have welfare programs, jobs programs, etc., etc. This book shows what we'd have without social programs.
