This was quite the ride. Like most of Steinbeck's writing, I don't really love it, but I respect it. Parts of it were brilliant, insightful, cutting, thoughtful, and will stick with me for a long time. Parts of it felt unnecessarily gruesome, dramatic, and over-the-top. Some of it just felt like filler.
Part of my issue with this book was that I was way more interested in the Hamiltons, but they weren't actually the point of the story. ⬇

I can't say that I particularly loved any of the Trasks (although I did love Lee), so it made me somewhat ambivalent towards where the story was heading.

Thank you for plowing through this one with me!! 😁
