Oil Upton Sinclair

This is supposed to be the novel on which the movie "There Will Be Blood" is based. Michael says the movie write read the first two chapters, and created the script-a good script, with an Academy Award nominate role for Daniel Day Lewis. But the script write took incredible license; the book has so many more themes. The liner notes say "avarice, corruption, socialism, communism, a Hollywood actress, oil magnates, and a crusading evangalist." And a lot of history of a really interesting period in American history.
