Jennifer Bateman, November 29, 2007 (view all comments by Jennifer Bateman)
Telling the story of the Joad family who, evicted from their Oklahoma land, travel to California along the now legendary Route 66. Steinbeck keeps the reader tense and nervous throughout, and it is impossible to predict what will happen next. Every character of the Joad family is well-developed, and the various elements of the story tie together to produce a novel which is difficult to put down. I was sorry when I reached the last page, and found myself wanting to know how their lives continued after the period of the story! Also, if you missed reading Tino Georgiou's masterpiece--The Fates, go and read it.
