"Engaging--. Terrific--. Takes us over the collar line with grace and authority."--The New York Times

As a veteran reporter throughout the "downsizing" years of the auto industry in the United States and Canada, Queens-born Solange De Santis covered her fair share of auto plant closings, but almost always from the management's point of view. That is, until this mid-career, mid-thirties, Ivy League-educated journalist quit her job to become an assembly-line autoworker.

She was hired at a doomed General Motors plant, and quickly learned about the bone-crushing realities and mitigated rewards of hard, physical work. In Life on the Line, De Santis offers a glimpse into a world that too many of us shy away from acknowledging, even as we accept the keys to our new cars. Completely candid, and as unexpectedly poignant as it is funny, Life on the Line will change the way you view blue-collar work and the cars on which we all depend.

Well written, with a lot of emotion

The author wondered if her book would do her co-workers justice and tell their story. I believe it did that with a mix of intimate emotion and harsh reality.

This gives good insight into the life of workers on an assembly line.

Every manger should be required to read this book to develop empathy to the plight of those who work on the assembly line.

A lively, informative account

2005年1月29日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

Solange de Santis' account of life on a car assembly line is a well-written, informative, page turner, albeit without the edge or the humor of Ben Hamper's "Rivethead." Her drive to understand the lives of people who did not have the privilege of growing up in the middle class is commendable. There is, however, one consequence of her actions that she never seems to contemplate: by choosing to take a job on the line, she in effect took it from another person who did not have the same options and for whom it would have been the best economic opportunity. For me, this phantom was present throughout the book.

Rich in detail and anecdote

1999年7月30日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

How many Ivy-League educated journalists would be willing to break their backs and go work on the assembly line to relay this story authentically? Very few! This writer does, and so gets to know the tasks, the workers and the business of making vehicles from the most telling perspective of all. Thoroughly familiar with the corporate point of view from years of business writing, De Santis joins those people whose sweat and toil actually build our world. She gives us the private musings and dreams of hardworking folks who didn't get all the breaks in life that she did, and shows their courage and determination to survive the brutal decisions of an unfeeling corporation. It's sad that management just can't understand the rage of these people whose jobs have been given a death sentence for the sake of higher profits, yet who are expected to give 100% down to the last day. But their voices need to be heard.

Stands with the best works on working.

1999年9月25日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

Solange De Santis was obviously not looking to "rip the lid off" assembly line work when she began either her experience at GM or her book. This is greatly to her credit. LIFE ON THE LINE does all readers the service of allowing them to make up their own minds. The author's point of view develops in the text at the same pace as her time passed on the line.
Crisp and insightful, this book can stand with the best of writing on the subject. The twofold treat is that those with no "shopfloor" experience may come to value more highly those who toil, and those who work on the line may be able to understand that they can be recognized and appreciated by ones not standing next to them in the heat and din.
Brava! From the author's brother.
