How is it? I hear it's a faggot book for communists, but I have to read it for my History class this semester.

It's mediocre, you could read worse, but you could read better.

It's a bit subpar, but I wouldn't call it terrible. Not really worth reading.

I envy you OP, you're about to read the greatest book ever written. FOR THE FIRST TIME. I wish I could read it fresh again. I've read it so many times I know every word by heart unfortunately.

I pity you OP, you're about to read the worst book ever written. FOR THE FIRST TIME. I'm glad I don't have to read it ever again. I've read it so many times I know every word by heart unfortunately.

If it was so terrible you wouldn't have read it so many times though would you? Ignore the trolls OP, It's the best book you'll ever read seriously.

Reread the post you linked to. He doesn't sound like he's upset he read the book so many times at all. He is just upset he will never get to experience reading it for the first time again. Perhaps you have reading comprehension issues? That would explain your criticism of this flawless book.
I agree with the posters saying this is the best book available, it changed my life more than once. You're in for a treat OP.

I agree with others in this thread, The Jungle is my favorite book of all time.

I don't believe you. I've always found Upton Sinclair, as an author, to be much too melodramatic for his own good. Not necessarily in his writing, but when he talks about how he wrote this book with his tears staining the pages. Humility is important in an artist.
