Classical novel. It was rather boring to me although it is thought intriguing and sad. I just knew what was coming. Very short though.

This book was beautiful but painful to read even from the start. Just wow. Read it in about three hours in one sitting. And it's my first Steinback ever. I adored his way of descriptive writing as well. Might read more of his works not sooner or later
