  • Extremely boring book. I had to read this for school and it was terrible. I would not recommend it to ANYone. It was long and dry, and seemed to continue on aimlessly forever.

  • I read this book a very long time ago and loved it. In my opinion it is one of Steinbeck's best novels and classified a modern classic for a very good reason. This is my copy and I plan to read it again (as soon as my huge list of to-be-read books gets smaller).

  • Wow, this book was so emotionally charged from the start that I didn't think I could read it without a vacation. I'll read it someday.

  • In this case, the reward exceeds the challenge of the read, and the challenge is formidable. Perhaps the most difficult book I have ever read, but also one of the best.

This series is edited by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University; Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Professor of English, New York University Graduate School. These texts are the ideal aid for all students of literature, presenting concise, easy-to-understand biographical, critical, and bibliographical information on a specific literary work.
