i did not like the first half of this book. second half picked up, and i caught the main themes of it all but it was still mid. you cant help but root for the Joads with all theyve been through and seeing what happens to them kept me reading. i feel that i just dont get along with Steinbeck. going back to east of eden which i read before this, it was definitely better overall. but even so my affection for both of the works ive read from him are the exact same. not to shit on the US or wtv but i just cant get myself to care about the happenings. 🫠
