I mentioned it as one of the books I hate, so I'm not exactly unbiased.

It's basically the Communist Manifesto in novel form. Steinbeck takes a fictional family and just keeps heaping on humiliation and exploitation onto them. It's far too melodramatic for my taste, as well.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

My friend's sister let me borrow The Grapes of Wrath. It's not my niche.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon as well. I would go for something else instead. *NM*

Is it worth the try? That depends.
