Robert Gitau, The Grapes of Wrath

This book isn't all that interesting to me. It does talk about some of the hardships farmers in the depression had to go through, and the author does a decent job in describing these hardships. That being said, I really hate the dialogue in this book. The characters all speak with such a thick country accent that makes it kinda hard to understand and just grates on my nerves a lot. I'm also not much of a fan of how the book takes forever to go much of anywhere with the plot. I kinda wish they would speed up the pace, although I am still in the process of reading, so I don't know if any of this will change. I can't say the book is god-awful, but I can't say its all too interesting either.
