Cannery Row is a place i love to visit up in Monterey- this book captures the essence of Cannery Row well. Steinbeck is an amazing author, and he can bring a place to life from the pages of his books, however i must say that this was not my favorite book. I found some of the things he wrote about to be boring, while he would mention other things that would have been very interesting to learn more about, yet he just glossed over them. I kept waiting for the story to pick up and go somewhere,yet to me, it never went anywhere, just meandered then ended.
