  • The grapes of Wrath is immersive because the author lived during those times (pre ww2), and the dialogue is spot on. And so is the world building. It’s all spot on.

    Also, there’s a unique, damn near patented execution of “inner chapters” where you read about the world completely outside of the characters. Oddly enough those were my favorite parts.

    There’s also incredible characterization. Masterful characters that makes you care about them deeply.

    There’s a wise preacher, too.

    There’s tragedy. Really deep tragedy.

    There’s symbolization like no other.

    It’s a simple story that you can’t forget either. Characters are going from A to B. There’s no muddling around.

    And then there’s Ma’s cookin’.

    Tldr: its a perfect book. My top 5.
