1.0 out of 5 stars Study notes, not the full text., February 12, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: East of Eden (Sparknotes Study Guide) (Paperback)
I thought I was purchasing the full text version of the Steinbeck novel and was surprised when this thin 74 page book arrived. It is the SparkNotes study guide for East of Eden summarizing the plot, themes, etc. The study notes were written by Brian Phillips, not John Steinbeck. The study notes look reasonably intelligent, but as I was hoping to read the book for pleasure someone else's interpretation is a poor substitute for the real thing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware of Incomplete Information, February 16, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: East of Eden (Sparknotes Study Guide) (Paperback)
Even after receiving this book and going back to Amazon.com to check, I could not find any indication that this is, in fact, NOT East of Eden, but instead a study guide to East of Eden. Not at all what I intended to buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wrong Book, February 22, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: East of Eden (Sparknotes Study Guide) (Paperback)
This isn't East of Eden by John Steinbeck. It's a quickie guide designed to help students write papers on East of Eden without actually reading the book.
