  A profound book

  I found Steinbeck's most famous work deeply moving. As a South African, it also gave me a new perspective on the trap of poverty.

  From an aesthetic point of view, a bit overestimated. Characters are not always convincing or interesting and sometimes plot development is too slow. From a historical point of view, the book is a 'must read'. Better to remember where rich countries are coming from.

  I read this book a very long time ago and loved it. In my opinion it is one of Steinbeck's best novels and classified a modern classic for a very good reason. This is my copy and I plan to read it again (as soon as my huge list of to-be-read books gets smaller).

  have to read the oringinal version.
  It's a retold one and some important sentences were deleted.
  Still a good book to get a whole picture of the story.

  "This is the thing to bomb. This is the beginning—from "I" to "we". If you who own the things people must have could understand this, you might preserve yourself. If you could separate causes from results, if you could know that Paine, Marx, Jefferson, Lenin were results, not causes, you might survive. But that you cannot know. For the quality of owning freezes you forever into "I", and cuts you off forever from the "we". "

  Reading the book you might think it's describing a story of our times, the strife of a family coping after have lost (nearly) everything.
