This book hasn't gotten boring in all 350 pages. With all the generational importance, seeing Adam's children echo the relationship he had with Charles. And the themes that seem to be at play here "all things have a end, good or bad." Adam coming to term with Cathy.. Samuel dying. Yeah

The random POV change smack dab at the end of the book was so unnecessary. Im not nearly as attached to the characters and now it just feels like a drag reading it. It feels discombobulated too? Not a fan after reading a 600 page book for characters i was alr attached too.

Cal gives Adam his money and he gets rejected, ouch 🤭 Kate or Cathy gets more time in the spotlight with a whole lot of internal conflict with her dumb brute Joe, perhaps an I there reflection of Stienbecks thoughts? And Kate KILLS herself??

Despite Cal echoing Charles and his hostility Stienbeck still cares to explore him and his character development giving him more narrative significance than Aron. The story itself is slowing down and getting less interesting. But waching Adam's transition and Lee aging has been great.

Charles dead? Explains why I haven't seen his perspective, I was wondering! Why though? I'll have to see. Samuel dying and being Adam's wake up call is probably the best thing to happen. There was a lead up.. Sometimes death is someone's wake up call

Oh my emotional foil for Adam, Samuel ❤️ it'll be sad for him to leave Adam's narrative but he set more than a good enough example for him. Set forth Adam, only we can hope you find yourself

I really like how Adam's and Charles relationship is depicted. Cathy's appearance was a little sudden. Could be the point. But her playing off as Charles reflective counterpart is interesting. Both are like the other they just present differently.

Its genuinely not bad :] I love how several meanings can be interpreted through the prose. A little meh to see where the story goes. 600 pages...
