Excellent book quick and intense. An end that will give you something to think about and reflect on. This story evoked a narrative that makes you look inward at your own life, goals, and desire a d asks you what you would to achieve them. What you would sacrifice. 

John Steinbeck is truly a powerful story teller. This short novel will stick with me.
