This is the best book I’ve read in a very long time.

East of Eden is the novel. John Steinbeck is a highly capable writer—he writes with great and high authority on the human condition (of things that timelessly matters). I am so fascinated with the use and execution of a generational narrative, and I am very satisfied and surprised with what could be done. The iconic cast of characters and strong evocative messages will certainly stick with me for a long time.
