## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    If you like early 20th century writers, this is your man.
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2007*

Sinclair's writing style is gregarious, repetitive.  He hits you on the head with the 'poor working class stiff' schtick, but if you can get past it, what he's describing is actually quite interesting.  Sinclair's book is a worthwhile read not only for its striking similarities to our own times, which many people have already stated.  But  his depictions of the early 20th century in southern California, the social mores, the living conditions, the locations -- are all his images, as he experienced them, or imagined them.  They may not have been 'real' but they are certainly what we no longer experience.  Los Angeles and Long Beach with derricks, dirt road travelling, working class lives, oak forests in places no longer existant, oil derrick explosions.  It was incredibly interesting to read Sinclair's version of how derricks were built, maintained, and occasionally destroyed.  Highly recommended for California early 20th century history buffs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Based on true events, not for the faint-hearted
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2023*

A pleasure to read, hard to take as it traces social-political conflicts in early Los Angeles. It’s very long, and relentlessly realistic, so often had to put it down for a breather. Both muck-raking and satirical, nobody is perfectly good or evil, the protagonists don’t get a break, and the villains don’t get redeemed. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars
