[b:Wide is the Gate 7402948 Wide is the Gate Upton Sinclair https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1441856499s/7402948.jpg 9306282] was for me a bit of a come down after the excellent [b:Dragon's Teeth 28601293 Dragon's Teeth (The Lanny Budd Novels) Upton Sinclair https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1453181389s/28601293.jpg 16805421]. It continues Lanny Budd's life story in a turbulent time, but without as much suspense as the previous book. Still it is a good story. It certainly inspired me to learn a lot more about the Spanish civil war.I was a bit put off by Sinclair's rather heavy-handed use of Lanny as a mouthpiece for Sinclair's own political views, and I tended to fast-forward through those sections.3.5 stars rounded up.
