Title: Absolutely a waste of time...
Review: I certainly understand why this book made such a wave in the early 1900s, and I further understand its importance. However, if you are a reader (or like myself a writer/reader) who enjoys good writing, a good narrative voice, and a lack of ridiculous propaganda, then this book is not for you.Some say Sinclair wrote this book in order to show the horrific conditions in the meatpacking business, however, most scholars admit that this book was written merely to promote Socialism in the United States. This is obvious because Sinclair is completely unable to let the reader interpret, but just tells.The writing is similar to that of a child's, incorrect and often times completely and totally unreadable.I did not enjoy this book and I don't see why so many people believe it should be taught in schools. I nearly burned it after the second chapter.
