I bought this book expecting it to be the novel, but it is a play adaptation.

This book is only good to read when you are unable to sleep. The turtle chapter was pointless. It did not get better as it went on. It got more boring. We HATE this book. We do not recommend this book to anyone.

This book seemingly has no point. Despite it's philisophical ideas that are highly intelligent and meaningful, Grapes of Wrath still sinks. The main ideas of being nice and decent end up being bogged down in 30 page chapters of the endless rants of Car Salesmen who cheat customers or the pointless plight of a land turtle.

If one could have rated this book as a negative star amount, I would have been that person. This book is 600 pages of pure torture. My opinion is that the law enforcement agencies should use the form of this book on tape, along with some Woodie Guthrie Dust Bowl Hits, to force criminals out of hostage situations. I, along with my fellow A.P. classmates, were subjected to this horrible display of literature by the ever lovin' Mrs. Ehteshami-Afshar fo Morris, Illinois. The ending is as if Mr. Steinbeck was bored out of his mind, so he just decided to stop writing and tie up ends. This book reads more of a history document than of anything closely resembling a novel. A.P. students unite, and rid the classroom of this boring work of literature! WORD...
