🎧 Audiobook Review 🎧

I love this narrator, Gary Sinise, the American drawl which just seems to fit so well with the content of this book. I don't know how John Steinbeck actually sounds but this sounds on point.

John Steinbeck 'discards' his identity to travel across the country he loves and came across different types of people, those who made him laugh and happy and those that drove him angry to distraction, viewed some amazing gorgeous natural scenes, and things/issues which gladden him but also aggrieved him.

I loved that he had a dog with him and he included all that Charley got up to. This definitely appeals to me as a dog lover. I enjoyed his descriptions of the people and country especially his wry humour. I wonder why he chose to end it with such a heartbreaking issue instead of including that earlier on. It might have to do with the specific location/event but even so, it was a sad one. Definitely a book of its time even if some issues are prevalent today.
