The authors have created a sort of anti-Book of Virtues in this encyclopedic compendium of the ways and means of power. Everyone wants power and everyone is in a constant duplicitous game to gain more power at the expense of others, according to Greene, a screenwriter and former editor at Esquire (Elffers, a book packager, designed the volume, with its attractive marginalia).
Hillbilly Elegy Common Sense Media Reviews
- According to Jennifer Green of Common Sense Media, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom is a tough film made more emotionally intense by the actor’s soulful performances and the hard truths at the core of the story.” Additionally being pronounced “superb” and “timeless” by various other critics, this film earned a hearty 98% on Rotten.
- Hillbilly Elegy: Vance, J.D. For more information on grade level appropriateness, consult Common Sense Media, School Library Journal, or your librarian.
