Read it a year or two ago, loved it but it stagnated after awhile which I know is the point but that doesn't make me enjoy it. Don't know if I ever actually finished it but I feel like I did

There's no way you forget the ending of that book. If you don't remember the denouement, and the final scene in particular, you couldn't have finished it.

I surprisingly hated this fucking novel. The intercollary chapters ruined the otherwise decent plot and rhythm of the whole thing for me. Also, I get tired of hearing Steinbeck bitch about California/dust bowl.

It's supposed to recreate the feeling of the endless drive across the country. At least that's what I got out of it
