East of Eden by John Steinbeck (2003, Paperback)

A classic, so well written. My book club read this and we said it was the best book we read this year. I say the best in many a year. Other writers pale compared to John Steinbeck. A treasure. Do yourself a favor, read it, you will not be able to put it down...............The most intriuging story with best character development. Ten times better than movie.

Steinbeck's modern retelling of the Cain and Abel story is both compelling and unsettling. The characters are well drawn, and the reader is pulled into the drama from the beginning of the story. Steinbeck explores our concepts and beliefs about good and evil, as well as the family dynamic in American society through the trials of Adam, a good but simple man, his wife, and their two sons.

If you were forced to read this in high school, give the book another try as an adult. You'll be surprised at the depths of the human condition that Steinbeck touches.

Great book, I love how he goes all the way back then goes forward in time and tells you about the families. Easy reading.

Great book! Best I've ever read. Low cost but shipping took longer than expected but it was definalty worth the wait

thank you so much. loved the quick shipping! i would definitely do business with this person again. very pleased with the transaction.

The book and seller were perfect! This was one one of the best deals on ebay I have every had.... perfect product and price and an even better seller!!!! A+++++++

I'd almost forgotten how wonderful this book is! I saw so much more as an adult reading this than I did in high school! Like the title says,you really can't go wrong with a classic,plus you have a copy for your children OR grandchldren,when they are ready to read it.Try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised,as I was,I assure you

The book arrived in excellent condition. I bought it because it was written by John Steinbeck. I've enjoyed every other book of his that I've read, and I'm looking forward to starting this one.

My son needed this book for required summer reading and I decided to try half.com for the first time. I am amazed at the condition of the book. The book came sooner than expected and was in perfect, brand-new condition at such a discounted price! I will continue to order from this supplier!

The book arrived on time. The condition was described as brand new.
Since it was a book for myself I found it acceptable, but I wouldn’t give it as a gift. On the other side, 2-dollar book cannot be mint condition (bn.com price: $17).

The book arrived quickly and in excellent condition. The book was in like new condition. It also was the 100th anniversary edition of the authors' birth, making it a nice copy to have.

The book is a paperback which is in excellent shape. The book itself is a wonderful story and I had not read East of Eden in many years. So it was a pleasure to read John Steinbeck again. He wrote so that one could visualize what he was saying or seeing. The book was sent on a very timely basis and I received it in very good condition.

the seller did great in getting the book to me fast and it was in good condition. Great to order from.

It was so easy to do business with this seller. The description was very accurate, the price was GREAT, and my item was shipped very quickly. It arrived in great packaging. I would definetly do business with them again!

Of course, East of Eden by John Steinbeck is a classic and I've read it years ago, but it goes beyond "classsic". The book is so descriptive that you can feel it as though you were actually there. When you finish the book, you know the people. They have faces and voices that you could pick out of a crowd if they were real. Sometimes I have to stop and remember that it's fiction, not reality. I've heard about authors that could "draw you into the characters", but John Steinbeck truly can and does.

I ordered this book because it was offered at a very competivive price and it arrived in very good condition
