A review by stormblessedt
East of Eden by John Steinbeck

emotional reflective sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

A novel that moved me deeply and engrossed me completely. This will stay with me for a long time, and I will probably revisit it after many years to see if I missed anything or if my perspective on parts of it or the whole changes. Would have given it a full 5 stars if not for some minor quibbles on how it meanders at times.
