Question

It says its based on the novel by john steinbeck and was adapted by frank galati.

does anyone know how well it compares to the book?

Answer 1

I think it is very similar to the book.  Any audio books I have used have been almost exactly the same.  The plot and characterization would be the same for sure.

The Grapes of Wrath is a classic, and also one that I have never read.  However, there are numerous free on line resources that can help you with your study of this novel, most of which analyze the story, discuss themes and symbolism and other literary devices, and give character sketches.  If you do a search you will find many helpful resources.  Additionally hundreds of questions have been asked here on Y!A about The Grapes of Wrath so do a search for it in the Yahoo Answers search window and you will find lots of Q’s and A’s that should help you.
