Reviews
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. So well, in fact, I will read it again some day. I love the character of Charley, the Poodle Although I think this is actually fiction, Steinbecks view of the different parts of America he and Charley traveled through on their journey around the country resonates with my memories of the way we were in the late 1950s. This is a book of simple observations written quite memorably.
