If you've read it, what are your thoughts on the book!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Oh my god, that is the greatest book ever written!. I think that John Steinbeck is the greatest author ever!. His descriptions of the landscape almost turn me on-he can use the simplest thing to make a huge difference, and really make you think about and notice things about the world around you you'd never think about otherwise!. His characters are very likeable, real, and easy to relate to!. The story is incredibly sad, but is filled with elements of pretty great humor!. Overall, this is my favorite book ever, and I really hope you enjoy it!. It is somewhat pro-communism, though, if you really think about it!. It was kind of weird when Rose Of Sharon breast fed an old guy tho :/Www@QuestionHome@Com The Grapes of Wrath is a classic, and also one that I have never read, but it is on mu list to read this winter!.
