    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book on so many levels. As a dog owner who adores her pup more than anything in the world, I loved Steinbeck's interactions with Charley, particularly the personification and invented conversations. Reading this made me want to hop in the car with my dog and take off to see the country.<br/><br/>This book also taught me something that reading Steinbeck's fiction hasn't: Steinbeck is a funny guy. The humor was perfectly observed. But what strikes me most about this book is how so much of what he penned in 1962 rings true today. All of his cautions, predictions, and observations about America and Americans have come true.]]></body>
