sally_thames 's review for:
East of Eden
by John Steinbeck
SPOILERS AHEAD
This book was a roller coaster of gratuitous detail, unnecessary characters, and BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE. While some of it was a slog to get through, I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. It was very genuine in its unlikely events. I fell in love with some of the characters and was sorry to see some
of them go.
I was near tears when Sam Hamilton died.
I thought there were many, many very important and very relevant themes displayed in this book that shocked me and made me think. It's definitely a time consuming read, but a worthwhile one as well. Some of the lines had me sighing because they were so poetic. One of my favorites, from Chapter 5 was: "Tom bruised himself on the world and licked his cuts."
