A review by brandonpytel
Cannery Row by John Steinbeck

5.0

Reminded me so much of Winesburg, Ohio with its ability to create a community through tis characters. Steinbeck blends perfectly the elements of nature with his sad, stagnant characters like Doc, Lee Ching, or Henri. It is a true novel about the human ability to empathize with others, while in the midst of economic depression: a wealth of a man is judged by character, yet the sad reality of life sometimes dictates other philosophies. I haven't seen such distinct and sympathetic characters in a while.
