Everyone Hates JD Vance’s New Book

JD Vance's latest book, Communion, has been met with overwhelmingly negative reviews, earning a dismal 1.27 stars on Goodreads. Unlike his previous bestseller, Hillbilly Elegy, which became a cultural phenomenon and was even adapted into a film, Communion is being panned for its perceived painful and unengaging content. Critics are comparing the experience of reading it to undergoing a colonoscopy, highlighting a stark contrast in reception. This backlash is significant as it reflects a broader trend in how Vance's earlier work was embraced while his new religious reflections are largely dismissed.
