Ok, so I'm biased: I know the author/photographer, and have heard him tell the story of this book several times. However, I do honestly like the book. It tells a story that we so often forget - that society treats some of its hardest workers like shit. The narratives collected here, though from a wide variety of people, all have one thread in common: it's tough to get by when you're scraping the barrel. The photos are crisp and well-composed, and tell stories in themselves. The text may tell you something; the photograph makes it impossible to ignore. And combined, they have a pretty strong effect.
