Objectively this is a good book. Personally it leaves you feeling depressed and hopeless and only makes you pity all the characters involved.

Absolute Favourite.
The way it comments on the American Dream and the lives of the disabled people, transient workers, black people and women of the Great Depression is absolutely enriching. Recommended for American History students or anyone that wants to get immersed in the sad but true reality of that time.

Did not enjoy reading this, although I can appreciate Steinbeck’s social commentary and descriptive imagery.
