This was a very challenging read for me. I really took my time in understanding everything that Steinbeck was trying to say. The story of the Joads is one that thousands of people across dozens of time periods have lived. People will continue to be Okies, but the Okies of today are different. Read this.

Heavy subject matter and deeply insightful. Worth its 'classic' status.

“There is little difference from this tractor and a tank. The people are driven, intimidated, hurt by both.”
