This is a book that I will continue to read and re-read in fragments indefinitely. The critics all pounced on Vollmann's lack of "solutions" or "alternatives" to poverty, but I think that his exhaustive travels, the explicit recordings of his confrontations with multitudes of impoverished people, his concise yet fluid and beautiful writing, and his receptiveness to each individual situation provide this book with raisons d'etre enough. Often, awareness and confrontation are the most difficult and essential steps in these types of processes; they certainly are the first steps, and that is exactly, and at the very least, what *Poor People* provides.

I absolutely loved this book! In a world where parents can have their children “unwound” (have their body parts donated to other people) if they are uwanted, three teens end up on the run to try and save their lives. Despite the length, this is a great book for guys who are reluctant readers. It is full of adventure, great character development, very fast paced, and filled with important questions such as what constitutes a soul. This is a great book to fuel a class or book club discussion.
