The book is intense I’m it’s descriptions of poverty and the food industry in the early 1900s. Parts of the book are unsettling and difficult to read because they are trauma spawning events for the main characterkathleendayle's review against another edition

The ending is abrupt. Hopeful though it may be, it does not relate the prospects of a brighter future to the tumultuous lives of the past documented throughout the novel. (who am I to criticise Upton Sinclair??). The Jungle is impactful and insightful, but it's not exciting, it's not gripping. And it feels like the story is unfinished.
