The Grapes of Wrath

By: John Steinbeck

I find the plot dry and the conversation between characters unnecessarily lenghty and lackluster. Perhaps its beyond my years but I dont think so. I read this book in a few hours but found it to be BLAAHH. I am in the process of reading another one of Stienbecks novels, Canner ROw and find it interesting and lively. It has the same writting style but is much more aliove, you can picture the situation happening as you read it cmes to life, wich is what I found lacking in the grapes of wrath. Ive heard this is a very popular book and someone is probably not going to like that I think it sucks. I think from what Ive read so far it is backwards that Ive never heard of Canners Row but Ive heard of The Grapes of Wrath.
