A review by oprah_wimpy
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
slow-paced
0.0
I quit reading at about 35% in. I know the book was written in the 50s where certain terms were more wildly used (not accepted or ok. But used.)
But after the about the 3rd use of more than one disgusting racial slur I'd had enough. I tried to keep going because the book is so widely praised as a classic... but honestly it made my stomach turn. Not for me.
