Who's The King Of The Jungle?

So recently, I've started reading The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, and the extreme use of imagery astounds me. The gory, precise, terribly exacting detail Sinclair goes into... it's like watching a great episode of Downton Abbey. One of my favorite scenes is the wedding.... the way Sinclair describes it, it's like you're looking through a window- the surroundings and the character's emotions and actions are vivid and complete- almost like you are experiencing it yourself. Love this kind of writing!
