The Wayward Bus by John Steinbeck
5.0
4.2⭐️
“Salesmen always spotted trucks and stopped, because it is generally believed that truck stop drivers are great connoisseurs of roadside coffee and food”
Wow, really shocked at how much I enjoyed this short read from Steinbeck, the way he describes people the emotion they feel and the lives they lead is incredibly poignant and filled with emotion.
The story itself is relatively straightforward but for me it was a page turner and to be fair it doesn’t have a massive story climax and it doesn’t need it, If anything I wanted more, wanted to learn what happened to all the people riding the bus and I guess my imagination will have to fill in the blanks, I loved the journey.
Definitely digging into more of Steinbecks work as this was my first read of his since I read of mice and men in school
