Title: Playing in humanity's head
Review: Always reading classics for fun or school, I get really excited when I read a book as phenomenal as this one.The thing that made this book stand out the most to me was what I saw as a magical aura about many of the characters. They all (Adam, Catherine, Lee, Sam Hamilton) have very exaggerated traits that bring out all sorts of facets of humanity. Innocence, evil, rash, thoughtful, acceptance, love, hate--to me, each character seemed to explore one (or more) of those. I felt like I was playing in somebody's head as he went through life.Couple that with the vivid, gorgeous writing, the scenery that Steinbeck evokes of Salinas, and you've got a great book.
