The Jungle by Upton Sinclair

This week I finished The Jungle, my classic. It's not particularly long but the language is really hard to read. The book took a while to get into, the middle was great and very interesting, but the end lost my interest a little. I think that the main problem with this book is that instead of one main story arc the book is made up of small events and conflicts that are solved quickly. That is less interesting than having one bigger conflict. Overall, I liked The Jungle but it was not a quick read, it was more of an in-depth look at a time period and type of people.
