The Grapes of Wrath and the pursuit of the American Dream

Date of Review:  Jan 12, 2000
Review: Many people believe that the Grapes of Wrath is a book about the migrant farm workers in the early 1900's. This is only partially true. Though the novel centered on the migrant workers, it is actually the story of each man's pursuit of the American...

Remembering a dark time in working class history

Date of Review:  May 18, 2003
The Bottom Line: Read it. It's a classic, and one of those books that everyone says you should read and it's actually a good quick read.

THE GRAPES OF WRATH

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: You need to read this book!
Review: The Grapes of Wrath, written in 1939 by John Steinbeck (1902-1968), is considered by many literary critics to be the greatest of all American novels. This is a book about the Great Depression, and one poor sharecropper family's struggle to survive...

Grapes of Wrath is Steinbeck's Masterpiece

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2006
The Bottom Line: is a-honkerin' like neva befo'.
Review: I've always viewed Steinbeck as Hemingway 2.0. Where Hemingway meanders through panorama, Steinbeck sets forth, always providing direction and purpose. His prose is slightly less conducive, but still projects enough imagery to satisfy Hemingway's...

The Best Story of "Life"

Date of Review:  Mar 9, 2000
Review: Long before I ever aspired to do any writing of my own, I loved to read.
"The Grapes of Wrath" came into my eager hands when I was in my forties and has become my all time favorite novel, followed closely by Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With The...

Best Novel I've Ever Read

Date of Review:  Jan 30, 2000
Review: I am rather proud of my ability to put what I mean into words most times, but somehow I am rather sure I will never be satisfied with this review simply because without reading this novel yourself, I don't think I cna help you understand what a...

The ending

Date of Review:  Nov 5, 2004
Review: I loved the book...could hardly put it down at times. The ending, however, left me out to dry. I want to know what happens to the Joad's! Do they stay in California? Does Tom ever find them again? What about Noah and Connie? I just don't understand...

Grapes of Crap

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2001
The Bottom Line: Don't waste your time reading this! It causes sleep and depression. The beginning is sloooow, the middle is horrible, and the ending is worse than the other parts put together.
Review: If you are not forced to read this-like I was-please please save your self the torment, life is too short to waste your time reading pure depressing garbage. Now if you like books in which almost everyone lives in poverty and/or dies, this is THE...

The Okies' Plight

Date of Review:  May 3, 2000
Review: Essentially, The Grapes of Wrath is a novel of social protest. It was designed to inform the public of the migrant's plight. It is a plea for the land owners of California and the banks in the dust bowl states to be more tolerant. It shows how the...
