Book Reviews of Where We Stand: Class Matters
Book Review: Can't believe this ever got published!
Summary: 1 Stars
I read this book for my sociology class. While I agree completely that class matters I think Bell Hooks does an extremely poor job of explaining why. Throughout the novel I felt like I was reading a paper written by a ten year old. Things just don't make sense. Also, the way it's written is very subjective, taking away any credibility it might have had. She does make some good points but nothing that other books about the same subject don't make. It's not worth trudging through the repetative nonsense of the rest of the book. Don't waste your money, there are many GOOD books out there (try "Ain't no Makin it" By Jay MacLeod for a good book on same topic).Book Review: No More Than You Would Expect
Summary: 1 Stars
You have only so much time upon this earth. Do not waste even one minute on the musings of this mediocrity, bell hooks. If you have ever endured a freshman orientation "diversity" lecture, you've heard everything this dullard has to offer. She is standard-issue academic Left.
