great reading

A solid, interesting Steinbeck novel. Not his best; this was an early work, and it shows him developing themes he would later bring to greatness in books like The Grapes of Wrath. But the reading is absolutely perfect, one of the best performances I've listened to. Every character is voiced differently, and none sound silly.
