3.5
An incredibly powerful novel about the migration of the Joad family from Oklahoma to California during the dust bowl.
This book is incredibly well researched and is a brutal and realistic description, that will really make you think and reflect.
The main issue for me was not so much an issue but a personal preference. The pacing is slow and while I think it worked really well for the novel, it’s just not to my personal taste.
