If There's 1 Story In World, Steinbeck's East Of Eden Ain't It!

Date of Review:  May 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: Not my cup of tea. Read Steinbeck's The Pearl or another one.
Review: John Steinbeck's East of Eden is not the Holy Bible. It's certainly not original, unique spiritual teaching in my opinion. It's also as much of an autobiography as Dr. Freudine's Sex Therapy is one for me because we both show up as characters in our...

East of Eden - John Steinbeck 99th Birthday W/O (Re-post)

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: I'm reposting this at the request of Stephen_Murray who is hosting a write-off for Steinbeck's 100th Birthday on February 27, 2002
Review: This extraordinary autobiographical novel is considered to be John Steinbeck's ?carefully planned reflection on national and personal identity.? When he spoke of East of Eden, he said, ?I?ve been practicing for a book for 35 years.? He called it...

East of Eden - Earthy and compelling

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2004
The Bottom Line: Classic novel....don't be left out...everyone else has read it.
Review: Required reading in some class I took, probably back in high school, Steinbeck's lengthy East of Eden is the only book (besides the Bible) that I have ever re-read in my life. I don't recall particularly enjoying it the first time around, but I...

After the Fact

Date of Review:  Jul 28, 2000
Review: Adam Trask is a good man. He is fair and decent in his behavior, if a bit misguided with some of his judgements. Adam is, in so many ways, the Adam. He is God's son, God's pride, and God's test.

Using his literary paintings Steinbeck...

A literary masterpiece!

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2000
Review: East of Eden was a book I was "forced" to read in high school. I am so glad! This book has had such an impact on me.

It revolves around the lives of the Trask family: patriarch Adam, his brother Charles, Adam's twin sons, Aron and Cal,...

A Great novel long before Oprah said it was a great novel

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: Buy it, it's a good read.
Review: "A fantasia of history and myth... a strange and original work of art"
- New York Times Book Review

East of Eden is an awesome novel! Some say it is Steinbeck's best and that is huge praise considering the work that man Steinbeck put...

East of Eden - A Classic for All Time

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: A definite read.
Review: "East of Eden" by John Steinbeck is one piece of literature that stands the test of time.

After you get past his first couple of (boring) pages describing the landscape of Salinas,California, you jump right into the Trask family history...

One of Steinbeck's best!

Date of Review:  May 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend East of Eden to anyone looking for a great historically accurate novel about a family's struggles.
Review: In literature, the proper use of irony helps to develop the character?s persona in the story. When a reader finds out that there is something unexpected in the story, this is usually the result of irony. In John Steinbeck?s East of Eden, the quite...

Favorite Book

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2007
Review: East of Eden is possibly my favorite book now. It takes a hard look at sibling rivalry, the blindness of love, and sin. The story is set first in New England and then in the lush fertile valleys of California at the turn of the century. The story...

East of Eden--A Steinbeck classic

Date of Review:  Oct 2, 2000
Review: Upon growing up in the Salinas Valley one of the requirements is to read John Steinbeck's novels. One of the first ones I picked was "East of Eden" because I saw the movie with James Dean and loved it. So I eagerly grabbed the book and I was not...
