A review by wunderkindl
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

3.0

I picked this book up because I thought, "I should have read this book in high school, but failed to do". The length of time it took me to read this book (about a year), probably is a good estimation of my unenthusiastic response to the book.

I loved the parts about the Dust Bowl in the beginning and the visual language describing farming or life conditions that are wedged in between the chapters about the Joads. Which brings me to the Joads...I felt sorry for the struggle, but I struggled through their saga.

Glad I read it, but not one of my favorites.
