Nickle and Dimed is an riveting book about America's working poor, written by Barbara Ehrenreich. The novel is about her journey from upper-class writer to part of the millions of Americans that are called the working poor. They are the people that fry our fries, clean our sheets at hotels, and take care of our children. She spends 3 months working as a undercover reporter, as a foreigner in her own country. The author sees life as someone in poverty, someone at the bottom of the food chain, trying to work his/her way up the pyramid, towards a better life. It is a very thought provoking and deep read and it is one of the best books I have ever read.
I rate it 5/5, and I encourage you to buy a copy of it.

man, poverty is not no hope in America, and is never no hope. what happens if you are rich and have no hope? this makes money sound like a total answer which it isn't.
