The Grapes of Wrath

Rose of Sharon loosened one side of the blanket and bared her breast. “You got to,” she said. she squirmed closer and pulled his head close. “There!” she said. “There.” her hand moved behind his head and supported it. Her fingers moved gently to his hair. She looked up and across the barn, and her lips came together and smiled mysteriously.

Damn Steinbeck, why do you do this!

This is the second Steinbeck book for me, after ‘Of Mice And Men' and I'm absolutely welled up with emotions. Steinbeck always makes me struggle with fighting off my tears, after I finish reading his books. This one's a tragic yet beautiful tale of the Joad family who're living through the great economic depression. The writing style is classic Steinbeck, rich, raw and emotionally powerful! You don't read a John Steinbeck book. You live it!

This book taught me that no matter how worse the this world goes. How miserable the conditions are, humanity never dies. And probably it never will. The last paragraph literally blew off my mind! Steinbeck just took it to a whole new level. This book restored my lost faith in humanity and left me with a lump in my throat.

A must read indeed! Do not miss out on this classic.
