It was fortunate that this was the day of Peter's meeting with McGivney. He could really not have kept this wonderful secret to himself over night. He made excuses to the girls, and dodged thru the chicken-yard as before, and made his way to the American House. As he walked, Peter's mind was working busily.

ideas and themes become repetitive but an easy, entertaining read

From the perspective of a 21st century reader, this novel is an interesting observation of the political machines and big business influences that pervaded urban centers in the early 20th century. It is an enjoyable read to say the least.

Pretty good story, if a bit dated. But another good look into the life at the turn of the 20th century. Gosh life was hard then.

Not as good as the jungle, but a quick and easy read. I enjoyed it and it made me feel uneasy at the same time. Recommended socialist literature.

an enjoyable novel (I'm still no voting for Bernie)

Americans react to pre, post and during WW1. Of course a little far fetched, it's still an important novel by Upton Sinclair, a prolific story teller.
