A review by rosy1912
Travels with Charley in Search of America by John Steinbeck

4.0

Enjoyable book. A different side of Steinbeck that’s quite refreshing. A lot of his descriptions of America are quite timeless and could easily describe today. Loved Charley and Steinbecks interaction with people. Made me think of Bill Bryson trying to reconnect with America in his book as well.

Be sure to read the introduction as some great tidbits. Love Steinbeck’s description of the natural world. His prose about what it was like to see the redwoods in California was beautiful.
