Publisher's Summary:
Caldwell's skillful use of dialect and his plain style make the book one of the best examples of literary naturalism in contemporary American fiction. The novel was adapted as a successful play in 1933.
Critic Reviews:
"Caldwell's book is...well served by this classy performance, which manages to highlight the realism amid the rambunctiousness." (AudioFile)
"An original, mature approach to people who ignore the civilization that contains them as completely as it ignores them." (The Nation)
Members Reviews:
The Depression is Depressing
This is an unsympathetic view of depression-era life in Georgia. The opening scene of the Lester family stealing turnips from their son-in-law, Love, deploying their own hare-lip daughter as bait, is a stomach-turning incident. Because of the unsympathetic view, readers will find no character as morally praiseworthy. Each character has multiple foibles, and those failings overwhelm any depiction. Unlike the more famous Grapes of Wrath, the depression is so all-encompassing as to leave no hope for any of the characters, with all of the characters falling victim to their circumstances in some manner.
No Grapes of Wrath
Audible doesn't carry Grapes of Wrath at this point, but this book is a lesser-known, not as epic story of depression-era people living on a farm in Georgia. I thought the narration was great and it makes for a great short book. It lacked the seriousness of grapes of wrath, but was enjoyable not as a deep life-changing novel. I liked it.
Ridiculous story line
Terrible story and inaccurate portrayal of southerners. Repetitive and goes no where. Would not recommend
