kendra 's review for:
The Grapes of Wrath
by John Steinbeck
MUST READ. One of my fave classics.
There are certain components in the story that I wouldn't have gotten if it weren't for my English teacher, but the overall story is an easy read. Steinbeck is just a genius when it comes to this story. The character development and the relationship established and developed between characters and readers is just on point. I really LOVED this classic; it is very human, and has such a raw approach to it. Also, his intercalary chapter style is just wonderful (intercalary chapters: chapters that overlap the main story and theme but that don't directly address the main story). My writing style has been influenced by him after reading this story--he shows a great balance, in my opinion, of adjectives and imagery without over doing it. Again, in my opinion. This is a book I'd like to read at least once a year--so beautiful.
