yunh0luvr 's review for:

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
3.75
dark emotional sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

the topics brought up in a 1939 book remain incredibly relevant almost 100 years later. though realistic, I found that the ending was just—an ending. nothing was achieved, nothing was resolved, and if anything, the ending made the rest of the book come to absolutely nothing. though i suppose it shows that even though their situation remains bleak, they would still help out others. still definitely worth a read :)
