I switched to audio book so I could finish this turkey faster. How do people take these a**hole characters seriously?! Jackass is literally burning thousands of dollars. Wish I had the Cliffs Notes for the last 4 chapters because this is torture.

Not an enjoyable read. The very beginning hooked me in because I liked Steinbeck’s vivid descriptions of the landscape. The people he introduced were interesting enough. But then Cyrus died and the book took a nose-dive for me. His son’s, Adam and Charles, are buffoons; Catherine is just flat, simply evil with no nuance. I’m not sure why I kept reading.
