A review by nhelregel
The Wayward Bus by John Steinbeck

4.0

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this book. Steinbeck really delves into the characters in ways that are surprising and ring true, even 60+ years later. I especially enjoyed that none of the characters come away clean; everyone has pretty and ugly sides that come out by the end. I wasn't even that annoyed by the inconclusive ending. Overall, very enjoyable; but readers should know what they're in for. Had to watch as my mother read this in frustration in the car; she was elated when she finally finished and could read her action-packed Stephen King. :)
