east of eden

East of Eden by John Steinbeck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isn't it funny when you re-read a book you were forced to read and you get so much more out of it?  Loving it because you're supposed to is not the same as loving it because you really do.  I love how Steinbeck writes.  He is maybe one of my favorite authors.  Or the favorite.  So many little books that make you feel because he develops the story properly.  And those characters.  oh man!  I admit I had to do some research on Cain and Abel's story again.  I find the concept of repeated story themes so interesting- and learned more about the Biblical story repeats than I was planing on simultaneously.  Is there a book about that?

Go back and fulfill you're 10th grade summer reading list one more time. ok?
