5.0 out of 5 stars The Uncensored Classic, 13 Jan 2005
By Graham Todd (Maidstone, Kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
While "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair is rightly regarded as a classic, the edition published by Doubleday Page was not the original text as published. The book first appeared in its original form, complete but serialised in the "Appeal To Reason" magazine. This is the version in this book, published first in 1905. This book contains the parts which were censored from the Doubleday text and also has the original, different ending.

"The Jungle" is an expose of the meat processing industry in Chicago by interweaving a novel around the salient facts of working conditions which were brought to light in the Packingtown workers' strike of 1904. Along with a group of politically motivated investigative reporters (who were later labelled "muckrakers") Sinclair brought into focus the way that the American industrial complex was unjust and corrupt.

Yet this book is also a warm, human tale of real human beings, beautifully written. You feel their anguish, happiness, and hope. It is truly one of the classics of twentieth century literature....and this version puts it into its correct context.

Get this and you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing compares to the uncensored orginal, 15 Mar 2006
The first idea of this book was to expose the gritty cities and the meat packing industury of the period, so reading the censored version is just not good enough. this full uncensored text may make the reader want to throw up every once in a while but thats the point. This has to be personally my favorite book from my degree study and usually this would not even happen, what with being forced to read it and all the text just becomes blank. But this is not the case with the jungle. Its beautifully written and takes the reader through the pools of blood on the cutting room floor to the smell of the house the poor immagrant family live in. If you want a read of a book with brains, timelessness and quality then read this version. Nothing else will do.

2.0 out of 5 stars THE JUNGLE, 15 Oct 2003
By A Customer
I thought of the jungle as one of the most disgustin and yet entertaining books that i've ever read. The book might be disgusting but you become interested as you read the things that happened in the meat packing industries that upton sinclair investigated on. The Jungle is a great book and everyone should read it. I HIGHLY recommend it.
