Query: Great Story of Failure and Redemption

This is a very easy read. Steinbeck lays a moral foundation through the characters and develops each of them well. He shows the weaknesses of humanity through the lens of the story. In a nutshell this is a very good, well written, story of hope and possibility despite decadence, greed and corruption within all of humanity.
