The Grapes of Wrath

4.25 stars/5 .
The main things that I've appreciated in the book-1. the family bonding, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the Joad family members had a close connection with each of them esp Ma, her support of Rosahran and Tom during the hard times,2. the characterisation- most of the characters were not one dimensional and layered and even Rose who wasn't that noteworthy, her kindness and bravery during the last scene of the book were pretty commendable, Casy wasn't a very strict religious ex-preacher, he has his disagreements with his almighty3. The end was pretty anti-climatic but I guess Steinbeck wanted to end it realistically without too much sadness or unnatural happiness, the migrant workers' condition is still unknown and hard, Tom probably following Casey's path and maybe he's going to die, Noah, Connie had no mention at last(although I hate him still).....
