Title: Great author - poor biography
Review: I am a big John Steinbeck fan. I was hoping for a biography to help me understand the man a little more. What I got was a critique of his writings. The author took great enjoyment in showing how he interpreted the Steinbeck writings. Hey, we have read the books and can form our own opinions! The biography was so long-winded that I found myself skipping entire sections. So, I was disappointed that the book was not a true biography of the man. The biography is in there, you just have to muddle through the author's side tracks to see it. I don't know of another biography to recommend since this is the first I tried, spurred on by the glowing reviews. Maybe I missed something and it is a great biography, but not for me personally.
