It's been a long time since I've read a John Steinbeck novel. His writing is evocative. Even though it's written in third person, the characters feel close. I am enjoying it even though occasionally I run across a problematic turn of phrase or word that is no longer used. Still his observations on human nature are astute. Thwre was an observation about timid men and their treatment of women that was spot on.
