The beginning was a little slow but Steinbecks writing makes up for it

What I Did Like:
+Language. Steinbeck has a gift for using exactly the right number of words. It’s not too few, but it’s exactly the right amount to keep the sentence from being rambling. He paints a picture and captures an emotion quickly and easily. It’s effortless and beautiful.
+Historical accuracy. This one is amazing for the way it depicts the time period accurately. From traveling workers to discrimination and cost of living, this one is a perfect lesson in life from another time.
+Characters. You can fall in love with this cast in 100 pages and think of them forever. They’re well written and realistic.
Who Should Read This One:
-If you’ve never read this one, it’s worth a read. Heck, if you’ve read it it’s worth a revisit. This is my 2nd or 3rd time reading it and I still loved it just as much.
-If you’re looking to get into classics, this is a great place to start. It’s short and readable!
My Rating: 5 Stars
This one is honestly such a must read for anyone!
