dark sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

I haven't read Steinbeck since I was forced to read him in middle school ("The Red Pony" and "The Pearl") - a good friend swears he's a wonderful writer and loves his books. Tried this one because it's short. And still. I feel like all of his books are so bleak and hopeless. Ugh.
