Steinbeck’s writing is reminiscent of watching a play. With the end of each chapters, we hold on a still moment and you can almost see the stage lights go down as the next act begins. Such an amazing reading experience. A vignette of this collection of characters’ lives, you really get the sense that the story is just a drop in the bucket of a larger world that stretches beyond the pages.
Definitely a high school required reading classic that everyone should return to outside of obligation to give it a true and fair shot.

Es scheint alles nicht ausreichend zu sein um dieses Buch zu beschreiben.
Steinbeck ist solch ein meisterhafter Erzähler.
Er schafft es so viel auf so wenigen Seiten zu sagen. Man denkt man hat einen dicken Roman gelesen.
Sobald man das Ende erreicht hat wird einem klar, dass die erste Hälfte komplett forshadowing war und man es am liebsten noch einmal lesen möchte.
