"Beautifully written and thematically dense. The scene in which Addams describes the impoverished people of London bidding on rotten vegetables, their pale hands clutching at food that should rightly have been on a trash heap, will stay with me for a very long time."
"This was assigned for class, but so intersting from a historical viewpoint. There is a whole section that I read about the state of Chicago in the late 1800's that is completely applicable today."
