Who has read the book Evicted and what did you think?!?

Yes. Read this book. It was very insightful. Well written.

Read it a few years ago. Found it incredibly sad.

I read it and it was great! Very insightful!

I lived in Milwaukee and drive by the Graphics place they talk about all the time. It is very sad but true. I think it should be required reading.

I read it and thought it was good, definitely shines a light on a serious problem in our society. It is making some folks in our industry upset, because it is causing some courts to put pressure on landlords( of course the landlords already following the rules) because of the issues being brought to light.

I read it and found myself fighting for both sides of the issue.

I did too- as a Manager and corporate employee, and one that has worked in low income for 18 years, I can see both sides. I have seen some companies and some private landlords praying on the downtrodden, and can see other decent landlords who follow the rules and provide safe and well kept housing being bashed for lawful and reasonable eviction. It definitely shines a light and makes people take notice and investigate legitimate problems in the housing market

Well written. It is sad, but gives a good perspective of the struggle that too many face to find and maintain housing. Certainly not light reading, but glad to have read it.

Good read. Revealing. Well-documented.

I’ve read it. I think it leaves certain aspects of the job out, but I was surprised and impressed with the authors attempt to view both sides of the issue. I’ve encouraged my management team to read it too. I want them to remember the human side to what we all do.

I thought it was very important and well written.

Oooh thanks for bringing it up and to all that shared their reviews!

I have yet to read this one. Didn’t know it was a few years out already!

It was really well written. I did find myself feeling for both sides, but totally see how a downward cycle can start for people they simply can't get out of, and there are many who will take advantage of them and their situation. It's worth the read.

I found it a devastating cautionary tale on how fragile economic security is, for everyone, really. Scary.
