I read this book when I was living in Monterey, California--all I can say is, it's changed a lot since the days when Steinbeck was in the neighborhood. This is an entertaining, vivid look at the Cannery Row of his time. It's much more light-hearted, if memory serves, than his more intense novels like Grapes of Wrath, East of Eden or Of Mice and Men.

This book is being registered for the Million Book Challenge, in honor of the third anniversary of bookcrossing!

Released on Wednesday, March 17, 2004 at Around the World Bookbox in Around the World Bookbox, Around the World Bookbox Controlled Releases.

This is going in a bookbox I hope to send out by March 31.

Removed from the Around the World bookbox which arrived safely this morning. Thankyou!

I read this ages ago and forgot to journal it. Steinbeck never disappoints. His stories are so wonderfully descriptive and character driven.
