) The item that i bought is great. Everything about it matched the description except only thing bad was the cover did not match the one in the picture. Even though the inside of the book is the same, it is just the cover that is different.

Not so bad; for a classic.Review created: 08/10/09

It tends to droll at times, but for the most part, it's one of the few classics that I've actually read that I somewhat enjoy reading. Would recommend. (Though I haven't finished it yet; so far, so good!)

There was nothing more I could ask for. The book was in great condition and the shipping was swift. The story itself was not too bad either...

Super book. Amazing detail & description in the first chapter keeps you from putting it down. It was bought for a school report and has inspired our student to read and even to desire to write.

The Grapes of WrathI ordered this book for my daughter. She needed it for an AP English class. We received the copy of the book very quickly, and she was able to get ahead of her class, who were waiting for copies to be ordered in the bookstore! Thank you for sending it so promptly.

Even the title is cool when you understand what it meanReview created: 12/16/08

This book is something you must read. It is alive. It gets in you and makes you feel a little more noble for just having read it. It gives you insight into America. It also shows how to live out faith. I bought it for my son for Christmas. I bought it for him because I see in him a strong man growing and I wanted to help him with that.

I thought it was pretty good. A little boring at some of the points throughout the book but overall good.

A True American Novel - No SpoilersMost American who went to high school in the last 30 years probably remembers being "forced" to read this classic. If like most of us you never finished it then, you should really get a copy and do it now.
The setting is the western half of the United States during the Great Depression. The Dustbowl years in Oklahoma and other parts of the Midwest have left many farmers broke and broken, their parched land foreclosed. Many of them packed up their meager belongings and headed West, to the golden promise of California.
The Joads are one such family. Steinbeck lets us hitch a ride with the Joads as they journey to California, and then through the state as they look for work, wealth, and happiness. Like all Americans, they find all three, but in different measure, and often with unexpected consquences.
At the highest level, the Grapes of Wrath tells the tale of America itself; our hopes and dreams, our values, and our beliefs. Steinbeck shows us the beauty of the land, as well as its unforgiving side. He lets us experience both the humanity and petty ugliness of people; and lets us judge the complexities of both.
More than a simple story of a family's life during a stressful time, the Grapes of Wrath can allow us to see ourselves as human beings with the same struggles, pains and joys.
