While the powerlessness of the laboring class in a recurring theme in this classic work, Steinbeck narrows his focus, creating an intimate portrait of two men facing a world marked by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness--a parable about commitment, loneliness, hope, and loss.

byrzazueta Nov 6, 1999
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Clean, crisp prose; VERY accessible
Cons Can get dry, but only because of the subject matter
Recommended it? Yes

The gist:

* Text book posing as non-fiction

I wish this book was published when I was in school

Pros plain english explanation of how codes and computers work
Cons none really
Recommended it? Yes

I wouldn't have struggled through my dry as heck Computer Science classes if this book was around then. Charles has a habit of creating good books on dry stuff.

Pros Dynamic Short Novel that has a kick
Cons nothing
Recommended it? Yes


This review is part of a write-in for Censored and Banned Books. It is a topic I have wrestled with in other reviews and in other aspects of my life. I totally support free written expression and a world without authors like John Steinbeck would be a different world indeed. John Steinbeck... Read full review »
