Chicago Poverty PoliticsWould you be willing to try another book from Upton Sinclair? Why or why not?
Maybe. The story is well written, but tugs too hard on the empathy of the reader, leaving one feeling dazed and a little used at the end.What does Paul Boehmer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The voices! He gives each character a unique and individual voice, and he does the myriad accents in the story so well. I bought this audiobook specifically because he was the one narrating it.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was grossed out at the descriptions of the meat packing plants, and felt pity for the poor immigrant workers in the story. Then I was whacked upside the head with SOCIALISM!Any additional comments?
If you have to read this story for school, get this audiobook instead. Paul Boehmer's reading makes it much more dramatic and interesting. If I had to read it on my own, I never would have finished it.A classic, well read.
