Cannery Row: Western Biological, The Palace Flophouse and Lee Chong's Grocery

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: Read the book, avoid the tourist trap.
Review: While Cannery Row isn?t one of John Steinbeck?s most critically acclaimed works, it has some elusive quality that keeps it hovering near the top spot of my mental rankings of his writing. It?s certainly not his most ambitious or literary work;...
