Book Reviews of Cannery Row
Book Review: A masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
Steinbecks most hilarious book. The wonderful character detail more than compensates for any deficiencies in plot. Mack, Doc, Lee Chong, and all the rest come to life in a way that only Steinbeck can accomplish. Steinbeck shows that many of the aspirations and struggles of people are universal--even among those who we might think live on the fringes of society. Most importantly, the outrageous humor of this book makes it a must read for anyone who loves to laugh.Book Review: A moving and wonderful book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I feel that Of Mice and Men was and excelent book. It had every thing I could want in a book a fight, murder, and a twisted ending. But most of all it showed the power and importance of friendship.Book Review: A row of cans
Summary: 2 Stars
Cannery Row is an okay book. I think Steinbeck threw in some unwanted and confusing chapters. If those chapters had more substance to the plot then it would be better. Out of the books I have read in school this is one of my least favorite, but not as least as the Great Gatsby. But in the book I did like the characters Mack and the boys, I liked how they were had no cares. Doc was also another likeable character. Because he was nice and like to try new things. Plus he was forgiving but sometimes to forgiving which I think is a big weakness.Book Review: A truthful review

Cannery Row was a poor example of John Steinbeck's work.John Steinbeck wrote many great books, but this one did not keep my interest. I realized that during the depression was a really hard time for people, one book is enough for the topic of the depression. I believe if I had to get some sleep then I would just read this book. The one great thing aboout this book is that it showed human kindness to others no matter what their profession is.Book Review: A wonderful book!!!!
