Title: A "Must-Read"
Review: While there isn't much in the way of a "plot" in this book, I still consider this a must-read. Steinbeck has an uncanny ability to put a sentence together in the most perfect way possible.The "story" is not a traditional story per-se, but rather, it is the story of the area at the time... a "slice of life" look at an interesting place at interesting point in time. It's a loosely related collection of short stories. The book accomplishes what it sets out to do, which is to give the reader a sense of the lives of the people who lived in Cannery Row during the Depression.The characters are colorful but still human and as I noted before, the writing is superb.
