I’m not gonna lie, this book was traumatizing, literally the only female character is called a harlot for having red fingernails, and don’t even get me started on Curly’s glove of Vaseline smh. But other than that, it’s an amazing book that has important themes about friendship and innocence.

Objectively this is a good book. Personally it leaves you feeling depressed and hopeless and only makes you pity all the characters involved.

My second John Steinbeck novel (after the Pearl), solidifying one of my newfound favorite authors. amazing writing, amazing setup and description and characters, and I don’t see things coming until right before they happen and then I am shocked. The second novel where this happens. Definitely reading more Steinbeck :)
