-- From same library where I borrowed TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY I borrowed SWEET THURSDAY. It's a sequel to CANNERY ROW. A few yrs. ago I watched 1982 film version of "Cannery Row." It incorporates both CR & ST. Nick Nolte is Doc, & Debra Winger is Suzy. Steinbeck has wonderful style & sense of humor. This book deserves classic status. -- ( )

I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone. Delightful. I could go on, but nothing more needs be said--it's a "sequel" of sorts, to the more well-known Cannery Row.
Read it, you'll be happy you did! ( )

Steinbeck gives birth to fully formed characters about as well as any modern author, and the characters in Sweet Thursday are some of the loveliest in literature. They all have their warts; they all have their peculiarities; they all expose a little heart sometimes as well. I'll bet you'll find a bit of yourself in this tossed-salad of humanity. I loved Cannery Row and Steinbeck doesn't miss a step in this sequel. You don't have to read Cannery Row first, but I'd recommend it. And if you liked Cannery Row, you have to read Sweet Thursday.
