In your review you focus on his humour and tend to discount his scathing eye on what America has become since his last journey through the heartland.BOLD MONKEY REVIEWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455376223724923135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-61551228581613671582011-03-07T15:01:03.738-06:002011-03-07T15:01:03.738-06:00For us people from the west Steinbeck speaks to us...For us people from the west Steinbeck speaks to us in a way that eastern, middle American and southern writers never do.

I read it not long after it was published (in the 70's) and it was an eye opener for me-as well as a fun read, of course. It's nice to discovery oldies but goodies. Thank you for reviewing it, it brought back good memories for me.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265301061583417768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-44245324343087384322009-03-12T09:08:00.000-05:002009-03-12T09:08:00.000-05:00You've almost convinced me that Steinbeck's okay t...You've almost convinced me that Steinbeck's okay to read.
