Steinbeck's powers of description and his characterization are second to none. This story is an interesting one- not much moves the plot, but the characters are rich and selfish and selfless and insecure and real. I kind of hated all of them but I also loved all of them at different times. Steinbeck shows humanity as it is, which at some points is surprising and disturbing and at other times is glorious and hopeful.
