Book Reviews of The Red Pony (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century)

Book Review: Not in the same class as his other work
Summary: 3 Stars

After reading the staggering Grapes of Wrath I wanted to find out more about Steinbeck. I bought a collection of his short novels which included The Pearl, Mice and Men and this one, The Red Pony. To be honest I thought it was not nearly as good as the others. It seemed bitty, with no direction, brutal in several places. I guess there were the same lessons etc running through it as his other work, but I did not think it had the same impact. The other two I mention above were each far better in my opinion. But hey, anything is going to have troubles when compared to Grapes.
