I enjoyed the book overall, especially the relationship with the poodle Charley. East of Eden was too overwhelming in terms of scope and number of characters for me. I was looking up books by John Steinbeck and picked one that was shorter and more fun. Steinbeck wrote that he was moved by a desire to see his country on a personal level since he had only experienced it through the media and secondhand accounts. Along the way, he meets a variety of people and experiences a wide range of cultures. He starts in the Northeast and heads West, eventually heading down to the deep South.
