Title: . . .a woderfully funny read
Review: Many complain of Steinbeck's lack of plot in some of his works. Too Bad. That's not the point of good literature. Plot is for critics and scholars. Steinbeck is for every man. Steinbeck is for regular readers like you and me. Cannery Row is a peek in the lives of a few people--people we'd never have had an opportunity to meet without the observing and reporting skills of John Steinbeck. Enjoy the book for what it's worth. . .and if you are a person whose interest can't be sustained without a plot, maybe you should go and read some of the hack writers that are flooding the markets today. You'll surely find the same tired plots used over and over again there. If you want a whodunnit, go read mysteries and suspenses and leave Steinbeck to those who don't need someone shaking a baby rattle in their face to be entertained. Thank You. And good night.
