At many times the story brought me to tears. John Irving’s storytelling is complex and many of his characters are richly developed, I now know some of them better than some of my friends. Like many Irving books, the story takes some wild turns and I am in awe at how he can create such a remarkable story. I was captivated through most of the book as he told the tale of three people who cope through the overwhelming accidents of life. A must for Irving fans.

When The Grapes of Wrath was published in 1939, it became the #1 bestseller in the nation, it was praised by President Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt as an unforgettable triumph reflecting America at the time. However, the book was not widely received by all and in several California counties the book was banned and burned. In Obscene in the Extreme, Wartzman tells the story of censorship and the clash of the classes.
