5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read, Oct 6 2009
By Doug B. (Nova Scotia, Canada) - See all my reviews
I first read this book over thirty years ago, and it still resonants with me. Set in the Great Depression of the 1930's, it tells of ordinary people pitted against unforeseen events and circumstances beyond their control. But by their strength of character, and sense of decency for others, they survive. Steinbeck's most moving novel is a read to be treasured.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grape or two., Mar 17 2008
By Vera C. Fran "book nut" (British Columbia) - See all my reviews
Well worth the length of the book. (over 600 pages) Grapes of wrath, once begun is a can't-put-it-down reading experience. One becomes 'as one' with the Joad family in their desperate flee to California and their struggle of finding work once they arrive there. A novel, which perhaps best comments upon the sociological perspectives of the dirty Thirties deppression, is also Steinbecks masterpiece. His development of characters leaves the reader feeling as if inside of the story in this all too real analysis of the hardships endured by migrant workers flocking to California in the 1930s.
Social values are analyzed through conversations such as when one is asked to consider the worth of the farm horse as compared to the farm labourer: A farmer wouldn't think of putting out a farm horse during bad weather; but people who toil on the farm until the work is done are turned out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great but long, Jul 13 2007
By Sandy Smyth (Waterford) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Not a short book by any means, GRAPES is nevertheless THE American Classic. While his EAST OF EDEN is a remarkable work, GRAPES is even more powerful, dealing with the dust-bowl and the Great Depression. The saga of the Joad family from Oklahoma to California is fraught with danger, bias, angst, humor, and hard work. It's hard to imagine just how bad it probably was for these people at that time, but Steinbeck captures this remarkably well, and the details---the sights, sounds, and smells---are so vivid that it is amazing. By the way, if you get a chance to see the film with Henry Fonda, while it's not terribly faithful to the book, it is still very good. But GRAPES OF WRATH, the book, will blow you away, particularly with the last scene. Not since BARK OF THE DOGWOOD and Styron's SOPHIE'S CHOICE have I been so moved and shaken. Must also recommend Steinbeck's WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT for another great work.
