Book Review of The Jungle

The Jungle
Author: Upton Sinclair
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Mass Market Paperback

This book is a tough read. it's easy to understand why it has become a classic. Definitely not a casual book to take to the beach, but more a cold fisted commentary on urban life at the beginning of the 20th century. The book hits hard at the plight of the emmigrants and could apply to our current culture.
