Negative Positive
Title: Long, boring book
Review: Why is this a bad choice for anyone looking for lesiure reading? First, it is incredibly long, around 600 pages if I remember correct. Second, it is very difficult to follow due to the number of characters involved and number of plots going on. Third, and most importantly, it is incredibly boring. This book is completely uninteresting and turning the pages becomes more of chore than a pleasure.If memory serves, this book was to be Steinbeck's crowning jewel. Thus, it comes off as contrived and, as with all things overly planned, too complex.
