A review by amayafirme
East of Eden by John Steinbeck

challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced

4.5

this book is so sad but even more interesting. i felt that it was veryyy long but the shocking and surprising events kept pulling me back in. i grew very attached to certain characters. the ending made me feel sad and unfulfilled and yet i'm not sure it would have made sense for the book to end any other way.
