December's one-sentence book reviews

A happy new year to whoever is reading this (and to whoever is not reading this) 

-----------------------------------------

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck 

A gut punch. 

⭐⭐⭐

Hang a Thousand Trees with Ribbons by Ann Rinaldi 

Decent middle grade historical fiction except for the "George Washington saves the day" bit — also, shouldn't a story about Phillis Wheatley include just a little of her poetry? Please? 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams

Why are plays so sad?
