?In the souls of the people, the Grapes of Wrath grow heavy for the vintage??

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2003
The Bottom Line: This book hardly needs me to recommend it as a great classic. But I will anyways.
Review: Counted among the classics of great American literature, The Grapes of Wrath is the usual suspect for a snapshot of life during the Great Depression, and it is an amazingly clear and vivid one. What is perhaps unexpected is the amount of emotion and...

Steinbeck: America s Most Vulnerable Trampled In The Vineyards Where The Grapes of Wrath Are Stored.

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: Epic in scope, intimate in detail, harrowing in tone, one of the most beautifully written novels ever, and arguably the best ever written by an American.
Review: Ask which is THE single greatest American novel, and you can count on the usual meritorious suspects:

?Moby Dick? by Herman Melville is the usual favorite. Some might go for ?Tom Sawyer? or ?Huckleberry Finn? by Mark Twain, or else...

The Grapes of Wrath: America's Greatest Novel!

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2000
Review: The Grapes of Wrath, written in 1939 by John Steinbeck (1902-1968), is considered by many literary critics to be the greatest of all American novels. This is a book about the Great Depression, and one poor sharecropper family's struggle to survive...

Professional Reviews
  King, Stephen: "As a high school kid struggling to write fiction, some books meant more than others, and some burst upon me with the power of a thunderbolt. John Steinbeck's 'Grapes of Wrath was one of those. The humanity of the story lifted me as a reader, but as an apprentice in the craft of writing, I was excited--almost breathless, really--with the audacity of Steinbeck's technique. He shifts, especially in the early going, from the wide focus (as the Okies stream west toward California) to the narrow with the aplomb of an acrobat. Probably the best example of Steinbeck working in tight focus is the turtle-crossing-the-road segment in 'Grapes'...I was moved by his ability to indicate the eternal by delineating the prosaic."
