Cannery Row
Having read this book, I have a whole new appreciation of Monterey. I will be looking for all the landmarks from the book next time I'm in Monterey visiting Cannery Row!
Cannery Row
Cannery row is a straight-forward book filled with memorable characters. It seems to lack a plot yet it is very challenging to put down. The novel tells the story of many different characters and how they live and interact with one another. Some of the characters are truly magnificent people with a good heart. Most are doing the right thing for a great person. And some are crazy, but would do anything for someone they love. There are chapters that introduce us to new characters that seem to have almost no part in the story, but somehow are related to a character form before. In the end their stories are all woven together.The novel is wonderfully written and I could visualize everything that was going on. There are times when I just had to laugh and times when I was close to tears. This is a quick read because it is simple and clear-cut, but the story could very well stay with you forever.
Cannery Row
I just finished cannery row and i would have to say that so far it is my favorite stienbeck story. i do not thinks there is any worthless chapters, as some people described, it is a very moving, simple, american story, one of the best.
Cannery Row
This is my first Steinbeck. It will not be my last. I'm kicking myself for letting so many years of my life pass without reading anything written by this obviously gifted author. His style is so different and so smooth. The humor in this book is never forced. It creeps up on you as if not intended. I guess my ultimate compliment is that for a few days, I wanted to be a bum on Cannery Row.
Cannery Row
I read this book shortly after visiting cannery row for a school feild trip. It was a wonderful book, and it was very immaginative. I read this book every once and a while, and I get something new out of it every time. When I read about Lee Chongs grocery store, I get a picture of it in my mind. This was a wonderfull book, in fact it is my favorite. I would reccommend it to anyone
Cannery Row
Even when describing the most down to earth situation, Steinbeck enchants you with prose so beautiful you have to stop to savor it.
