Title: A True Classic
Review: I was never an avid reader of the Bible but this classic rendition of the old book's makes me want to sit down and read over the original stories again and again. Steinbeck achieves greatness through his tale of two families whose fates are intertwined and destinies preordained by the Bible itself.Although the chapter organization seemed jumbled as if the chapters were somehow mixed in a strange order,however, the sheer insight emanating from Lee and Samuel Hamilton always made me hungry for more.The lack of character development in Cathy (or Kate) is somewhat frustrating as it lead me to question why she kept reverting back to her previous ways when she's better off leaving them behind but she proves to be critical to the forced development of the weakened Adam Trask and also aids critically in the joining of the Hamiltons and the Trasks.I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It's guaranteed that East of Eden will move you and maybe even change your outlook on life.
