Publisher Description
In Monterey, on the California Coast, Sweet Thursday is what they call the day after Lousy Wednesday, which is one of those days that's just naturally bad. Returning to the scene of CANNERY ROW, the weedy lots, junk heaps and flop houses of Monterey, Steinbeck once again brings to life the denizens of a netherworld of laughter and tears. The book is in many ways a statement about Steinbeck's greatest theme: the common bonds of humanity and love which make goodness and happiness possible.

Uplifting
For my money, the best book ever written. Uplifting, full of character with a wonderful philosophical streak running through it. A beautiful and touching exploration of the different ways we look for happiness and fulfilment. Every other line is worth highlighting.

Been reading this book of and on for the last 30 years, it makes me reflect, it makes me a better person, and it makes me laugh,
Love it.
Sweet Thursday
Took an age to get into. I am sure Steinbeck made this uneventful story up as he went along. Who am I to criticise?
