Not a good buy for one credit.

The dramatization was good but it is only 2 hours long. And now I have to use at least 15 words. Audible will sell you a short presentation but demand a long review.

Good Program

Very well done overall. A few places are hard to follow, just listening and not seeing the play at the same time. Still, it's worth a listen.

Still Important

We are living in our own "dust bowl" at this moment. As I was listening, I thought of how people today were dealing with hardship through no fault of their own. This audio book makes me want to reread the novel.

Easy to follow classic!

Easy to follow (once you get the rhythm) and very worth hearing of you haven’t read the novel

Classic

John Steinbeck's finest. A classic work that tells the important story about what it means to be human. Read it again
