magnum opus

East of Eden by John Steinbeck; 1952, $16.00, 601 Pages; Penguin Books, New York, NY; 0-14-200423-5; purchased from SmileAmazon.com;Corner Reading Society; 5/17/2020-6/7/2020

I usually like John Steinbeck's books.  I felt like this one was bloated, had too much backstory and took too long to get to the main story.  There were parts of it that I like and overall I liked it. 

8/10
