The prose is very academic; almost like a treatise or a manifesto.
Giroux highlighted important neoliberalism and how this toxic market system is disrupting civic responsibility and social democracy.

This is such a powerful and heartbreaking story. The author really does quite a job at making you relate to a teenage girl who throws her baby in the garbage. She makes you sympathetic to a character that normally you would judge and hate just based on principle. This book is extremely graphic and a hard read, but worth it if you can get past the difficult subject matter.
