Steinbeck crafts his sentences beautifully. I've been laughing out loud at some of the humour that he sprinkles through the descriptions of his characters:
"Liza Hamilton was a very different kettle of Irish. Her head was small and round and it held small round convictions. She had a button nose and a hard little set-back chin, a gripping jaw set on its course even though the angels of God argued against it." (p. 15)
