This is tragic without beeing overly dramatic and hopeful without beeing unrealisticly optimistic. I was surprised how fast I read it and how much the slang of the characters grew on me.
Like in the other book I've read from Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men, something kept me from becoming as invested into characters and events as one would think you would with this kind of plot, however this one was long enough and had so many character moments that I couldnt help but come around eventually. Especially Ma and "Rosasharn" became easy to get attached to for me.
