"Dramatization killed it for me"
This was my first listen to a dramatized version of a book and I realized I do not like them. I thought the story was solid but the acting made it hard to follow for me. I missed the language of it. I enjoy the explanations of setting and character. I think I'd like to try the unabridged, undramatized version to see if I like that any better.

"Mostly Average..."
What did you like best about The Grapes of Wrath (Dramatized)? What did you like least?The cast of characters to play the roles of the principles in the book, the Job family did a very good job with the dialog and it was very good.
What did you like best about this story?The story of the family hardships was well described and pretty much followed the book.
Which scene was your favorite?The scenes in the camps were the best.
Do you think The Grapes of Wrath (Dramatized) needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?Not really. Besides those times are past and Steinbeck is no longer with us.
Any additional comments?I think this audio version was a little bit too short, and maybe I should have chosen one that was a little more fleshed out with more detail in the story.
