I really liked this book. I found it to be so thought provoking. I never gave much thought to class in our country before but now I have a new understanding. I never realized the challenges involved in breaking into the white collar world beyond the obvious cost of attending college. The only parts that I had trouble with were his constant comparison to "middle class" when I think he often meant the "upper class". Being from the middle class I shared many of their difficulties. I also don't know which fork to use and had to figure out on my own how to get ahead in the work environment. I know of many people that felt like imposters at work that didn't come from a blue collar background. This is part of what made it thought provoking though so it certainly didn't ruin the book for me. Lastly, I had trouble keeping track of the different people that he interviewed however that didn't impact my appreciation of the book.
