A review by roadki77
The Jungle: The Uncensored Original Edition by Upton Sinclair

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? N/A
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

The book that caused major legislation regarding the food industry's health standards. Also communist propaganda, but that only comes in at the end.
