Cannery Row By John Steinbeck Cannery row is very much like a collection of short stories, the main stories describe Mack and the boys, and the other stories describe the other citizens of the town of cannery row. The style of the Cannery Row is easy to read and free-flowing yet the characters, stories, and themes are deep. Steinbeck is also very good at characterization, as he shows the humanity of all his characters, even …showed first 75 words of 320 total…

…showed last 75 words of 320 total…powerful. Anyone who likes the first page will also like the rest of the book. Steinbeck is a very talented writer. He is very descriptive but leaves just enough room for the imagination to take over. He is also a very realistic writer; this is not only seen in Cannery Row but in many of his other novels as well. I recommend this novel to anyone who has read and enjoyed any of Steinbeck's works.
