What Members Thought
Driven off the farm, Steinbeck's epic describes an incredibly tragic and heartbreaking Journey for Tom and his family. Pressing from terrible to worse, these squaters seem almost blinded by the eternal search for shelter and work, and his story paints vivid devastation and disaster as they trudge West seeking relief. I imagine that local immigrants must daily experience a simular walk in search of work and securty.

Heartbreaking and awesome. I read The Worst Hard Time by Egan at the same time and it really increased my appreciation of the migrant farm worker.
Powerful, classic. I enjoyed it as much this time around as I did years ago. It is a book every American should read.
