The Grapes of Wrath

This books shows that the only thing more cruel than humans is nature. I wonder if that's why it's called human nature? This is historical fiction about people who flood to California for a better life because the Dust Bowl has ravaged southern America. They then realize California is no sanctuary and must battle police brutality, a corrupted farmers alliance, disease, starvation and nature itself. I loved Steinbeck's writing style but it's like the ending just came out of nowhere. He could've written at least 50 more pages but I guess he just didn't know what to write and just left it at that.
