    The story is a little too slow. The idea is really good but I had expected more action

  2. Aditi

    A powerful look at the migrant worker struggle, but Nolan’s character felt a bit underdeveloped to me. Still, a worthwhile read.

    Steinbeck at his best! A gripping narrative with unforgettable characters. Highly recommended.

    Steinbeck’s writing is always impressive. This one explores tough themes, but the story feels a bit dated.

  8. Debashish Paul

    Absolutely stunning! ‘In Dubious Battle’ is a powerful and moving story that will stay with you long after you finish reading.

    The migrant worker’s plight is portrayed realistically. A little slow, but worth reading.

    This book show a dark side of humanity. Not a fun read, but important to understand.

  11. Mansi

    Not my favorite Steinbeck, but still a solid book with important messages about exploitation.

  12. Yatharth Dwivedi

    Steinbeck’s stark prose really shines in this book. The themes of power and manipulation are timeless. A bit slow-paced at times, though.

  13. Ankita Singh

    The descriptions of the California landscape are beautiful, but the story itself is quite bleak. Be prepared for a heavy read.

  14. Dharvi Singhal

    I found the ending to be somewhat unsatisfying. The characters were compelling, but the plot dragged in places.

  15. Shubham Kumar

    Found it a bit preachy at times, but the story is undeniably powerful and relevant.

  16. Vijay Rahul S

    Very sad to see how the workers have to fight. A good read about reality

  17. Pallav Agarwal

    The book is well-written, but I had trouble connecting with the characters. The overall tone felt very pessimistic.

  18. Prashant Singh

    A must-read for anyone interested in social justice and the complexities of human nature. Excellent!

  19. Rodhsi Singhal

    Gripping and thought-provoking! ‘In Dubious Battle’ is a classic for a reason. Highly recommend.
