Upton Sinclair Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007 An enthralling, epic piece of muckraking literature I came to "Oil!" for two reasons. One, I had recently read "The Jungle," and became enamored with Sinclair's wit and prose; two, I had watched "There Will Be Blood," and found it such a thought-provoking film that I had better read the book that inspired it. (This ...             The Jungle (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (B&N Classics) Upton Sinclair Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003 Great Book It was kind of a dark book in that it seems like nothing goes right for Jurgis, but it keeps you captivated because you keep wanting something to go right for him so that he can obtain the American dream.

Dr. Barry Sears has no purpose in the novel. First off, I'd like to express my opinion that this is one of the most brilliant novels of all time, eloquent in its own hyper-literal and miserable way, and though a hard read(400 pages of pure sorrow and exposure of our dark world) is one of the most fulfilling ...             The Jungle: The Uncensored Original Edition Upton Sinclair See Sharp Press, 2003 An inspiration for my new novel...
