Book Reviews of Cannery Row
Book Review: great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best books i have ever read. The characters are so believable. There's Doc, the scientist, who people always go to for their monetary needs, Mack, the bummy leader of the Palace Flophouse, Dorah, the mistress of the whorehouse, and Lee Chong, the sly store owner. Anyone of these people could just as easily be your next door neighbor. This book is so timeless that the characters carry over flawlessly from yesteryear to today's world. If you are a human being, you must read this book!Book Review: simply wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
when reading this book, i fell into the present-oriented society that was cannery row. the plot may seem minimal but is so endearing because of the realism. nothing seemed to hit Mack and the guys too hard. you have to read this book. you'll love it.Book Review: timo's review
Summary: 3 Stars
I think the book is pretty good. I like most about it that steinbeck describes the characters very good . I don't like that every chapter has to do wth something else. for example from doc's 2nd surprise party to the gopher who trys to find a new home. i lke that the story is in realism and deals with real situations. while you read the book you kind of move into montery and see the daily life of the people and their feelings.timo
Book Review: what a good book cannary row was!
Summary: 5 Stars
Cannery Row was writen with some great technecks. It has many similies and vivid verbs which make the story come alive as you read. This is a book about people and their lives it is not like a fairy tale for the people in this book don't always get their way. Some of the characters may seem strange at first, for example one man is building a boat but never finishes it for although he loves boats he has a fear of the water. This book was a very good book when it comes to expressing the past and cannery row. If you read this book i would strongly sugest going down to montery's cannery row and seeing were it all takes place.
