Title: A thought provoking book - a true classic!
Review: It has been twenty or, sadly, maybe thirty years ago since I've read a Steinbeck. A couple of books that I passed on at that time were 'East of Eden' and 'The Grapes of Wrath'. In 'East of Eden' Steinbeck still amazes me with the depth of his characters, and the intricasies of their relationships with each other. If an award was given for 'best supporting character', I would vote for Samuel Hamilton! His simple joy of life and home-spun wisdom are an interesting contrast with the chronically, evil Kate. This book will stay with anyone who reads it for a long time. 'The Grapes of Wrath' will be next for me - I know that I will not be disappointed!
