5.0

I picked up and put down this book several times over 6 months, and am glad I chose to read it in snippets rather than all at once. It’s a beautifully written tale of a journey Steinbeck takes cross country with his dog Charley as his companion. It’s a lovely commentary on country, society, and individualism. And I was so pleased to find that Steinbeck spoke up and stood up for racial justice. Excellent narrative and worth the read.
