A review by valerieloveland
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

5.0

I started this book about 10 years ago and stopped reading it when I was about half through the book. I don't remember what made me stop reading. It's been nagging me that I haven't finished, especially this book is on every list of books that a person should read. I am always reminded that I didn't finish.

The book was even better than I remembered. I made a joke that I wish I waited until the economy was better before I read this book, but I think the economy made this book even more urgent to me.

I keep thinking about the characters in this book. I worry about them. The place the book ends is very effective, because I will be worrying about them forever. They will never be okay.
