Has anyone read this book?

Probably the best book I have ever read. I really suggest it. It is actually FUN to read. I had to read it last year for English, and I had the book done 2 weeks before the test.

The time span is nearly 100 years, and takes place within 3 generations of a family. It also involves some other people too.

The novel grabs your mind and holds onto you the whole way through. It is very easy to read as well.

I've heard of it before but have yet to pick it up. I'll look at it next time I'm in the bookstore.

My favorite Steinbeck book, mostly because of the way he subtilely includes philosophy in the narrative, mostly at the beginning and end.
