Book Review of Main Street

Main Street
Main Street
Author: Sinclair Lewis
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on + 5 more book reviews


While maybe meant to be a work of sarcasm, it morphed to something else over the years since it was written. Now, after reading it again, I believe it's somewhat humorous. Lewis' political leanings are not-so-subtly thrust at the reader to the point of being funny. It's a good read, though, and worth the time to relive what life was like in small town America early in the 20th century.
