5STEINBECK IS THE BEST
Von Ein Kunde
I read Sweet Thursday before I read Cannery Row, before any other Steinbeck novel actually, and then proceeded to devour everything else he wrote. Steinbeck and Graham Greene are 2 of my favorite authors. Character development is rich and the story itself is reason enough to read this book. YOu will read everything else you can by him if you haven't started to already!

1A terrible let-down
Von Michael Khan
The sequel to Steinbeck's best work turns out to be one of his worst: bland, unimaginative, contrived to a fault, unfunny, and totally lacking of any of the wisdom and insight into the ways of human beings that graced "Cannery Row". The happy ending with Doc and the hooker is totally implausible if you take into account the way this man was portrayed in Steinbeck's other works. "Sweet Thursday" does not detract from the qualities of "Cannery Row" - but it certainly left me wondering just what possessed Steinbeck to ignore the truism that certain books (this is one of them) are best left unwritten.

Von Ein Kunde
Sweet Thursday is Steinbeck's best work. That's saying quite a bit, considering Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden. His unparalled understanding of the human psyche and spirit was evidenced in both of those books; but to bring a delightfully comic spin to plot and characters while maintaining that insight shows his true genius. He was able to make each of numerous characters large, real, complex and humorous in a comparatively short book. I marvel at Steinbeck's insights and his ability to "slap me in the face with some hard truths" while making me laugh! What a gift Steinbeck gave us with this book.
