A review by bookhawk
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair

2.0

The Jungle is a difficult review. On the one hand, it is historically significant for having a tremendous impact on getting needed oversight over the meat packing industry and likely a large reason for it being on classic lists. On the other hand, it may be one of the most depressing books I have ever read and also a total socialist propaganda piece. I suspect this book is one many people have read parts of but not the whole book. I am glad I read it but also glad to be done reading it.
