Book Reviews of Moon Is Down
Book Review: captures the emotion of the occupied and the occupier
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is quite brilliant and has proved how good it really is by still been a powerful today.The book tells the story of a town that has been occupied by enemy soliders . The book shows the soliders just to be normal man that miss there family and hate the way they are treated by the local people and how the soliders are the ones that become prisioners , never daring to feel at ease or lower there guard .The book never shows the soliders as beasts that hurt people for no reason , infact it shows the soliders trying harder and harder to be liked and just live in peace . The book shows how to defeat occupies that are more in numbers and armed .By making the soliders human ,Steinbeck made the soliders have weakness that could be exposed ,that everyone could relate to and understand . This gives greater hope to the occupied people as they can see that what they are doing would slowly get themselves down and so is working on the enemy. There is one line in the book that sums up what Steinbeck was trying to say "hurded man wins battles , free man win wars" .The book does lack depths in its characters , but makes up for this with the emotion that steinbeck is able to genrate in the book. Great book .
