First this was written before Obama was a political figure.  Well at least before he was an elected public official.

The authors definitely give you the feeling for the extreme poverty and isolation that prevailed in the eastern Kentucky mountains during the Depression.

I suppose that it is because the main character is a high school student.  The vocabulary, sentence structure and straight forward plot were more characteristic of middle-reader fiction.
