Summary: the book was written with poetic sadness that moves reader
Review: The Grapes of Wrath is one of the most important novels both historically and stylisticly that has ever come out of America. As the reader is taken down the road of hardship and economic injustice that the Joad family must travel, his eyes are open to the terrible calamities that the depression and the Dust Bowl brought on poor farmers. We gain a greater understanding and appreciation for the courage and perseverance displayed by thousands and thousands of migrant workers forced out of their native lands and compelled to compete for slave labor. Through his poetic use of the English language, Steinbeck educates us and inspires us to recognize the indominatable human spirit.

Summary: American tragedy/triumph
Review: A remarkable story of the adverse livng conditions during the depression. The constant struggle for just enough to eat was truly a triumph over tragedy.Fortunately, few of us today will never encounter such hardships.This novel should be required reading for those who think it's tough going in todays world.

Summary: grapes of wrath - a book to make you remember
Review: I am no literary expert, but this book has to be one of the best I have read. Its depiction of suffering and the (sometimes losing) battle against adversity is something which should always be remembered in a country which likes to highlight that its "American Dream" is open to all. It is important not to forget what happened to real people in the past - how can we improve the present if we don't learn our lessons from the past?

Summary: Burn it!!
Review: I normally don't support book burning, but for this book I'll make an exception! I have never read a book at horrible as this one. Every other chapter was absolutely meaningless. I suppose you could argue that a wheat shaft in the wind has purpose, but I just don't care. This book is better than NyQuil!

Summary: A MONUMENT IN LITERATURE
Review: WHAT CAN I SAY THAT COULD EVEN APPROACH THE JUSTICE THIS BOOK DESERVES. "THE GRAPES OF WRATH" IS A SHEAR TOUCHSTONE IN BEAUTY AND HONESTY THAT TRAVELS THROUGH EVER EMOTION THE HUMAN SPIRIT HAS EVER EXPERIENCED. WITH THE INTERCHAPTERS WAXING PHILOSOPHIC, AND THE CHAPTERS THEMSELVES BROADCASTING THE HORROR AND DEVASTATION OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION ON A MICROCOSMIC LEVEL, A BALANCE OF PURE AWE AND MAGESTY IS STRUCK WITH THE READER. IF YOU WISH TO CONSIDER YOURSELF AMERICAN, OR, HELL, EVEN AN EMPATHIC HUMAN BEING, YOU WILL READ THIS TRUE MONUMENT IN LITURATURE.

Summary: A Very Good Read..
Review: Off, to adventure, this story takes you away into the unknown, the Joad family, gathering what little possession they have left and taking off. The characters rely on each other mostly through the book. Ma is a very strong person sometimes taking the most decisive direction. This is what thousands of families had to go through to survive. A very good read, makes you feel you are there with the Joads, I recommend it...

Summary: a great classic novel
Review: I thought this book was very good in the fact that it brought the depression to life. Some of the people who hate this book don't even know what it is about. The person who was complaining about the chapter dedicated to a turtle probably has no clue that the turtle chapter is a summary of the entire events of the entire book!
