I cannot believe I went through that whole book expecting to not have a classic Steinbeck ending.



This book follows Jim and Mac and their attempt at a strike to get fair wages for fruit pickers. Their cause was noble and they were fighting at a very large disadvantage against a corrupt conglomerate.



This book was not interesting by any means because a strike can only be so interesting, but this book made me think long and hard about how things have changed and how they haven't.



I have no words for the last page of this book.



3.5 Stars for Jim
