Everyone in the group hugely enjoyed whichever book they’d chosen by John Steinbeck.
We mostly read a selection of his shorter works such as Tortilla Flat, Travels with Charley, Mice and Men, The Wayward Bus and Cannery Row because of the time frame for meetings.
This was a great taster, with many of the group saying they thought the book ended too soon, and they would like to read more.
Some of the group have started ‘East of Eden’ which is too good to hurry, and are engrossed.
Overall, this makes John Steinbeck the group’s favourite author so far, with everyone awarding the book they’d tried a 4 or 5 star rating.
