East of Eden~Chapter 1

Last year, a girl in my Bible as Lit. class was reading this book and the more she talked about it the more I wanted to read it. The biblical symbolism and the character Kathy (which we haven't gotten to yet), seemed so complex and interesting to me.

However, the first chapter was exactly what I don't like in literature...too much information. I feel as if the first chapter will mean a lot more after the whole book is read but at this point I just want to get to the meat of the book. However, even though the first chapter was slow, I liked to overall idea of forgotten ideas/memories and wanting what isn't present.

I'm super excited about this book because I've heard so much about it. I hope it's all it was cracked up to be!!
