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

5.0

I wouldn’t call the prose poetic, but the story feels so relevant today. Jurgis is so relatable with his mindset that he is healthy and if he just works harder he can make ends meet. Things have definitely gotten better for many since this book was published, but in so many ways things haven’t changed. It is the image of the exploitation of the working class from a birds eye view. I highly recommend this book.
