A True American Novel - No Spoilers
Created: 27/07/06
) Most American who went to high school in the last 30 years probably remembers being "forced" to read this classic. If like most of us you never finished it then, you should really get a copy and do it now.
The setting is the western half of the United States during the Great Depression. The Dustbowl years in Oklahoma and other parts of the Midwest have left many farmers broke and broken, their parched land foreclosed. Many of them packed up their meager belongings and headed West, to the golden promise of California.
The Joads are one such family. Steinbeck lets us hitch a ride with the Joads as they journey to California, and then through the state as they look for work, wealth, and happiness. Like all Americans, they find all three, but in different measure, and often with unexpected consquences.
At the highest level, the Grapes of Wrath tells the tale of America itself; our hopes and dreams, our values, and our beliefs. Steinbeck shows us the beauty of the land, as well as its unforgiving side. He lets us experience both the humanity and petty ugliness of people; and lets us judge the complexities of both.
More than a simple story of a family's life during a stressful time, the Grapes of Wrath can allow us to see ourselves as human beings with the same struggles, pains and joys.

I haven't read for years but wanted to read it again and have for keeping. I lost the copy I originally had. It was an excellent story. I like the way John Steinbeck writes. His writing puts you right there. It is so descriptive and detailed. Just excellent!!!!
