zoeelizabethk 's review for:

East of Eden by John Steinbeck
5.0
challenging dark hopeful inspiring reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

There were times when the pacing dragged a little, but I really loved Steinbeck's character writing and his use of themes and symbolism. Left me with lots to think about and this is a classic I would read again.
