Who wrote "East of Eden"?

Steinbeck has such an easy to read style. Very difficult to copy. His books are fantastic, Grapes of Wrath is brilliant, if you haven’t read it give it a go.

Player #176284, Steinbeck is one of the best authors in the world

I'd bore your socks off if I told you how much I love Steinbeck! If you're not a reader, check out all the fantastic movies made from his works.

if your into Steinbeck, read travels with Charlie. the best of and worst of USA in ..61? maybe a bit sooner. Charles is a large standard poodle of that time. this is true story written as Steinbecks travels from coast to coast . amazing book.

OzzysUndies, I like Steinbeck, he was always writing of the hard working people of the 30's...He wrote as Mentioned Grapes of Wrath, Oklahomans who escaped the Dust Bowl tragedy...Thanks to these people the Orange Industry grew in Northern California... I loved reading Cannery Row and Of Mice and Men; people that are considered Salt of the Earth, I always liked Tortilla Flat...The people who lived a carefree and relatively happy life...One day I will go to his hometown Salinas California where there is a "museum" in his honor

I think John Steinbeck was a much better writer than Hemingway. I liked his books a lot more!

great story

East of Eden is a classic movie. I think it was James Dean best role, he was superb!

RockNRollMama82, OH, YES - MUCH BETTER! Steinbeck's language is rich and nuanced and wonderfully crafted. With Hemingway you get lines like, "If you go, I go too. It's the only way I can go".

greatest writer of the 20th century

Player #38618593, That absurd line always makes me laugh.

Player Gigi #28446253, Agreed! Steinbeck wrote so vividly and with such style. In comparison, Hemingway always seemed awkward and simple-minded to me.

'East of Eden' is my favorite Steinbeck novel. The movie adaptation was surprisingly, fantastic. I was "surprised" by the movie's brilliance because, I am usually left underwhelmed by book adaptation films. 'The Color Purple' 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' (both versions) and 'East of Eden' are my favorite book to film works.

The 1981 miniseries with Jane Seymour was excellent.

Best book ever!

all 4 choices are fantastic authors

my favourite Steinbeck book

RockNRollMama82, Hemingway is good too, but we are writing of Steinbeck

FaithfulReader, Go ahead and bore our socks off! Have you ever gone to the Steinbeck Center...I still can not figure in this game how I can see replies to my comments... I hope I un into other Steinbeck aficionados as myself

Player #16001909, Better than Hemmingway?

Love the movie. Have yet to read the book.

It also made for a great movie adaptation.

OzzysUndies, I too love Steinbeck’s books. My favorite is In Dubious Battle.

FaithfulReader, Go ahead ...bore my socks off.

FaithfulReader, Go ahead
