This was the first Steinbeck I've ever read. I was quite impressed. The imagery was very vivid, and the writing was wonderful. The story itself was heart-wrenching and powerful, especially as I read it during the 2008 economic downturn, and everything seems relevant, even though the gap between here and there is quite large.

I think I'll definitely read more Steinbeck in the future...
