A review by jedore
East of Eden by John Steinbeck

5.0

For a classic and a long book, I did not find this one a difficult read at all. When I wasn't reading, I found myself wanting to return to the life of Adam Trask and his twin sons to see if everything turned out okay. The characters were rich, deep and wise (possibly a bit too wise to be realistic) and I was deeply connected to them by the end of the book. (OK, maybe everyone but Catherine/Kate...probably one of the most evil characters I've ever met!) I'm a pretty picky reader and this one made my all-time favorites...
