A review by 400mom
World's End by Upton Sinclair
4.0
The only one of Upton Sinclair’s books I had read was The Jungle, in high school. I thought it was icky and it had the disadvantage of being required reading. But this book sounded interesting and I didn’t realize it was the 1st in an 11-book series.
I have seen reviews which compare this series to Winds of War or to Forrest Gump. Both of these comparisons make sense but this book seems deeper than either of those. It is the description of the thought process of Lanny Budd as he is attracted to one viewpoint after another that makes this book worth reading. I don’t know that I will ever read all 11 books in the series but I’m interested in the next few, for sure.
