I saw two thoughts while reading this: 1. This is one of the best books ever written. 2. Fuck John Steinbeck I hate this book.

Steinbeck is a master. He can convey more in a three sentence paragraph than most people do in an entire chapter. This is a beautiful, gritty story of desperate people in a desperate time.

Very good but hard to read. Deserves all the fuss.
