Negative Positive
Title: Tobacco Road hits too close to home.
Review: Tobacco Road is an important, if not uplifting story that should have broad appeal. Being from the rural south, I struggle with the image stereotypical poor southerner, but, the Lesters make for a compelling composite of the worst elements of southern poverty. Pearl S. Buck's "The Good Earth" makes for a compelling comparison and contrast to "Tobacco Road". Personally, I prefer "The Good Earth".
