The Moon is Down

In a history course I just completed, we read The Moon is Down by John Steinbeck. We didn't focus on WWII much in the class, but this was our glimpse at WWII. At first I didn't really care for the novel, but now that I've finished it, I absolutely love it. It's so short, but good! It has a strange feel to it, distant, but close, dreamy, but serious. It's also incredibly interesting to read the introduction and to hear about how much controversy it caused. There's some amazing themes and such going on with freedom, standing up for what you believe in, and matter of the heart and mind. It's a wonderful read, inspiring, unique. Maybe someday you'll pick it up, it won't take long to read!
