Publisher Description
In his first novel to follow the publication of his enormous success, The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck’s vision comes wonderfully to life in this imaginative and unsentimental chronicle of a bus traveling California’s back roads, transporting the lost and the lonely, the good and the greedy, the stupid and the scheming, the beautiful and the vicious away from their shattered dreams and, possibly, toward the promise of the future. This edition features an introduction by Gary Scharnhorst.
Customer Reviews
Character Driven Plot
My first time reading this Steinbeck and I can see why it is judged as a weaker one of his novels. A big emphasis on a dozen or so characters, all flawed, and with a thin plot. Rewarding in the end but not as impactful as his best. Good narrator but the audiobook sounds a little muffled.
