Book Review of The Jungle

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


This was a real eye opener to what immigrants were experiencing in everyday life in the slums of Chicago. Their family's encounters with what they thought would be a great new start was depressing and disappointing. This book made me appreciative of the labor laws and regulations we have today. Very good read overall.
