This was a toss up for stars. I thought it was probably 4 stars good, but it was SOOOOO depressing that theme-wise I wanted to give it a 1. So I think 2 is a good compromise.

I've read other Steinbeck and liked it (East of Eden), but this one made me want to slit my wrists.

One happy thought: no matter how bad life gets, at least I'm not breast-feeding a dying, homeless bum in a flood
