The Metropolis

(4 stars)

Influencers are not a modern phenomenon that arrived with social media on the internet. This book is a great read if you want to learn the history of influencers in 1905 Manhattan or to learn about New York society. Sinclair goes way overboard on the descriptions of material luxuries, so only 4 stars. Well read by Mr. Kilmer.

Noticed this on the Librivox website...

I'm glad I looked there; it's listed among the newly finished readings. First I mist say, this is not a simple book to take on. None of Sinclair's books are. So to Mr. Kilmer, I say thank-you. It's been awhile since any more of Upton Sinclair's works have been tackled. And I've been waiting, patiently of course. As to your narration, Richard, both you're pace and inflection have greatly improved since the first time I listened to one of your readings; I'm fairly sure it was an H.G. Wells' writing. The book itself is, simply stated, one of necessity to be on everyone's list of books to read / listen to within one's lifetime. Highly recommend.

The Metropolis, by Upton Sinclair

Not Sunclair's finest work, but the novel does shed light on the corruption and excesses of those in "society " in the guided age.
