This book was beautiful but painful to read even from the start. Just wow. Read it in about three hours in one sitting. And it's my first Steinback ever. I adored his way of descriptive writing as well. Might read more of his works not sooner or later

Without doubt, it's a simple story about a lot of things; about running from your problems, mental health, people who are hard to understand, and this book covers these things wonderfully, if only on the surface level. A classic for a good reason.

genuinely disliked this book so much. read it for class and didn’t even finish it properly. idc if it’s historical and shit… let’s read something current where they don’t have the n word on every single page.
