1919 Audiobook

" Without a doubt, one of the very best novels (actually a trilogy of novels) that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. A wonderful portrait of life during the pre and post World War One period. Anyone who enjoyed Ken Follettt's "Fall of Giants" and/or Sinclair's "The Jungle," will enjoy "USA." Dos Passos' writing is a treat in itself. "

" I read this before moving to America years ago. It's a fascinating study of the rise of big business in the U.S. told through a wonderfully generous narrative filled with big characters and all the while a news ticker tape clicks away in the background giving time, place and scope of real-life events. Loved it. "

" A bit trying in the middle, but on the whole, a damned impressive, panoramic novel. "

" A good portrait of American life during the WWI/1920s/Great Depression eras. "

" A collection of great books probably best read together. It's rewarding to read all three because characters carry over between them in interesting ways. "

" Great snapshots of life in the early 20th Century in America. If you like happy endings you may want to avoid it - as Dante from Clerks says about Empire Strikes Back, it reflects life most closely, a series of down endings. "

" One of the truly great, often unappreciated masterpieces of American literature. Brilliant stuff. "

" An absolute classic must-read. It's long, but great. One of my grandad's all-time favorites "

" No one seems to read Dos Passos any more. When I was young, he was still in the American Pantheon. This trilogy is a wonderful thing, a fresh and daringly original take on the USA. "

" Before he turned into a total crank, Dos Passos turned out this classic modernist trilogy about the development of the US. "

" Pretty fuckin amazing so far. "

" An amazing book. I need to read it again. "

" Set of three in hardcover "

" Great glimpse of early United States in the early 20th century, Dos Passos is very underated in my opinion "

" Astounding! Among the finest books ever written. From this point on I propose that in cartoons, when a character is shown sleepless and reading a characteristically lengthy book, that that book be U.S.A instead of War and Peace. "

" beautiful stories and a preset for current literature- oh how fancy! "

" Is this about the same country I live in now? Plus, it makes me want to be a hobo. "

" Read this one a few years back. A tough read, but very interesting. "

" Difficult at times, but my vote for the great american novel. "

" I want to re-read these. "
