John Steinbeck
Sweet Thursday
The sequel to Cannery Row. Follows our friends through a bit of torment and also has a few odd chapters thrown in as if Steinbeck wrote a characterisation and didn't want to make a book of it. The story is a bit corny and the whole thing is not as convincing as the brilliant Cannery Row, or his other books that I've read, but very enjoyable nevertheless. For a lot of books you can forgive slack characterisation and plot details if the story is compelling. In this case it's the reverse. A lot longer than Cannery Row and not sure that adds to it either. But worth reading.
