To hear the speech of the real America, to smell the grass and the trees, to see the colors and the light— these were John Steinbeck's goals as he set out, at the age of fifty-eight, to rediscover the country he had been writing about for so many years.

Better late than never

I wish I'd read this in the late 60s, when I was trying to find me in the writings of others. This would have given me hope, cautious hope, sooner rather than later.

An Incredible Ride

I read several Steinbeck books in college, and read Travels With Charley a few years later. It was long enough ago that I decided to read it again, as an older adult. It was fabulous! I could hardly put it down. What a treasure it is!

Worth the read, even the second time around.

Read this book decades ago and thoroughly enjoying it again. Wonderfully descriptive, folksy, insightful. A pleasant change from high drama books about wars, murder, politics and assassinations.

Read,remember,appreciate

Steinbeck may be gone but will never be forgotten. Social commentary on an America that has largely disappeared but shaped so many of us. None of his books is trivial.

Command of language

One searches today mostly without satisfaction for such straightforward beauty of language. Descriptive Emotive Sweet & Harsh. Steinbeck delivers. And without the easy foul and crude filth so common now.
