A story about the life of migrant ranch workers during the Great Depression that feels a little like a light prototype to The Grapes of Wrath. A worthwhile read if you like Steinbeck, but it lacks the punch compared to his greater works.
| Positive: | Negative: |

| Interesting, likable, profound characters | Feels a little simplistic compared to Steinbeck’s bigger works |
