East of Eden

86. Read 26 books I've never read starting with each letter of the alphabet (in progress - 12/26)



“The masterpiece of one of the greatest American writers of all time. East of Eden is an epic tale of good versus evil with many biblical references and parallels. The story is ultimately that of good’s triumph over evil and the human will’s ability to make that happen.”


“East of Eden” is one of the best written books ever. It simply is. It requires a very talented and skilled writer to create such a masterpiece. Every chapter was carefully written and the parallels to the economy and politics always interesting, adding a nice background to the story.
What amazed me the most were the characters. They were very complex, with rich background and somehow they never seemed to act out of their supposed personality, which is very difficult to write, particularly because of the high number of characters.
I’m very happy I finally read the book! I’ve wanted to do it for a couple of years but it never happened. I think that “Wuthering Heights” and “East of Eden” are my all time favorite novels!
