The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

This is an absolutely wonderful book.  Steinbeck makes you really see the dust bowl and the people who live there and leave seeking a new life.  The reader also becomes completely involved with the Joads, one of the families who leaves Oklahoma to go to California.  The Joads seem very real and you really start to care about them and what happens to them.  My favorite part of this novel is how real it all seems.  Steinbeck does a fantastic job of describing things and is very faithful to his style of realism.

It is definitely worth the time!
