OMG!! That Steinbeck sure can write!

I never heard much of the book, only read it because of East of Eden. Initially I hated the book because it was written in hillbilly. Once the trip went to California, the book got amazing. I was not aware of any of the details and was amazed about it's capitist take. Great nook, I can see why it's an American classic. I you do not know anything about this book, check it out.

As someone having to read this in highschool, sophomore year, I really liked the book!

Very descriptive picture of the oppression of simple country folks during the depression. Very sad , but an important piece of history that should not be forgotten. The ‘Grapes of Wrath’ was an accurate depiction since some of the smaller land owners went bankrupt due them unable to sell even healthy grapes due the low prices when they could not afford to harvest leaving not only the migrants but these landowners, destitute.

This is a review of this particular version and the sample that is given before purchase. I’ve heard lots of good things about this book, so I downloaded the sample to see if the first few pages might hook me. The sample gives you the first 76 pages. Of those 76 pages, only 3 are the actual book. The first 73 pages are, no joke, just forwards and notes on the text. What a waste of space. 3 pages is hardly a sample, it’s more like crumbs.

Steinbeck’s famous work is very probably the best literature I’ve ever read. Very high quality of writing, a unique ability to recreate the pictures and the emotions, giving reason to the thoughts and make the actions understandable. A book that contains universal truths about human societies that should be revisited in contemporary America. I feel grateful and blissful for having the experience to read this book.

I couldn't dumb myself down enough to read and follow whatever backwoods, swamptown language in which this was written.

This book =fire

Very boring and bad plot whatever the plot actually was😂

A family from Oklahoma travels west for a better life in California during the depression only to face great hardships and injustice. California's land barons are portrayed as they really were at the time. White slavery was very much alive. Steinbeck's greatest work.
