East of Edenby John Steinbeck |
Kim Sisto Robinsom: There is a reason only select books are meant to be called classics, and after reading "East of Eden," I finally understand waht this means. Steinbeck is a master storyteller; his words and sentences are still absorbing inside my mind and body at this moment. His CLASSIC, "East of Eden" follows three generations of families and the choices they decide to make in their lives... how every decision made not only affects a particular individul, but an entire generation of individuals.... and thereafter.
I delight in Steinbeck's style, the way he inserts universal messages
in his pages for his readers to ponder; his deep directives about religion,
racism, sexism, and generational imperfection. "East of Eden" is PURE PERFECTION.
It is a classic that will live forever. Five stars are not sufficient for this Masterpiece!
