The Jungle is a 1906 novel written by the American journalist and novelist Upton Sinclair (1878–1968). Sinclair wrote the novel to portray the lives of immigrants in the United States in Chicago and similar industrialized cities. Many readers were most concerned with his exposure of health violations and unsanitary practices in the American meatpacking industry during the early 20th century, based on an investigation he did for a socialist newspaper.The book depicts working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living and working conditions, and a hopelessness among many workers. These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power. A review by the writer Jack London called it, "the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery."Sinclair was considered a muckraker, or journalist who exposed corruption in government and business. He first published the novel in serial form in 1905 in the Socialist newspaper, Appeal to Reason, between February 25, 1905, and November 4, 1905. In 1904, Sinclair had spent seven weeks gathering information while working incognito in the meatpacking plants of the Chicago stockyards for the newspaper. It was published as a book on February 26, 1906 by Doubleday and in a subscribers' edition.

Order a copy produced by a trusted publisher.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The Jungle is a great book. However, the copy of the book I ordered from Amazon, publisher listed as CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (November 22, 2017), is possibly the worst quality I've ever seen in a book. Even the paragraphs are not indented, making this copy difficult to read. Order a Penguin or another trusted publisher.

Possibly be reprinted illegally.

March 5, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I think this edition is being reprinted illegally. The word 'Copyright' is spelled wrong on the first page (Copy right) and there is no forward, introduction or table of contents. The format of this edition is odd. Chapters don't start on their own pages.

It does state on the first page that this is an e-book...but this edition is a printed book. Very disappointed and will be asking for a refund.

She hated it, unsurprisingly

July 22, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I don’t know why high schools try to make sure kids DON’T want to read, but my daughter was forced to read this for freshman English. She hated it, unsurprisingly. It even gave her nightmares. Made me think about the time I resorted to cliff notes when I was forced to read “The Grapes of Wrath”. I love to read, and read all the time, but for heavens sakes, high school teachers, pick something better!

Art is beautiful, story is mediocre

While the pop-up art is magnificent, the retelling of the story is sadly lacking. I think anyone familiar with the Kipling version of "The Jungle Book" would have to be disappointed in this choppy, rewritten story.

Another Amazing Reihart pop-up book

July 30, 2017

Format: Novelty BookVerified Purchase

This is one amazing book. Have started buying used pop-ups for my 2-year old grandson who is mesmerized by pop-ups. I collect pop-ups as well and I did not have this particular one. Going to buy my own version soon. I bought him a used but in great shape copy just in case he gets a bit too rough with the book but with other pop-ups he's been good. Highly recommend this Reinhart classic

Incredible Detail!

My niece is obsessed with the Jungle Book, and my friend has one of these books. So I bought it for my niece and she loves it. It is so detailed and worth every penny. It's a fancy book that would need supervision so they don't break it.

Slow and bland beginning, interestingly thought-provocative middle, annoyingly coercive pro-socialist ending. It's not that I have an opinion on socialism, it's just that it is a major diversion from the middle section of the book, which was the book's strongest section. Overall worth the read, as it is a classic that most should read.

I’m sure it’s a great story, but it looks like someone copied text into Notepad.

January 28, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Just wondering if the book is printed strange, if I ordered a odd/cheap copy, or if this was how it was originally printed.... but I hate it. It’s slightly distracting. I’m sure I’ll get over it and enjoy the story but geez.
