East of Eden John Steinbeck

East of Eden Reviews I want to marry this book and have its babies. I can't remember the last time I felt such a deep sense of satisfaction after finishing a book. Every part of it was a delicious page turning delight. This was pretty close to perfection and it's up there as one of my top ten favorite books. It's the best book I've ever read. This is one of the best books ever written... ever.. through time.. through... the entire Universe. When I finished I said to myself " Self, why haven't you read more Steinbeck?.. What is wrong with you?“ This one's dark folks. I have to say I didn't expect Steinbeck's "East of Eden," to catch me the way it did. The themes Steinbeck struggles with are epic--the relationship of men within the family, good and evil, human nature. I believe that good books entertain you, better books teach you, but great books inspire you. This book does all three. It gripped me beginning to end. The love. The hate. The betrayals. The hope. The secret. The friendships. The struggle of good vs. evil. At its core, that's what it's really about: good vs. evil. Are we born good or evil? Or can we choose?
