by John Steinbeck
This is a really short book compared to others. It is also a parable meant to help the reader understand how things could affect their own life if they came into it.
The story follows a fisherman and the changes that come into his simple life as he finds a pearl that is extremely large and of great value. He sees the grandiose potential in front of him because of the pearl he now has but sadly experiences very quickly the negative effects that follow the supposed fortune.
Overall the simple story is written well and striking to read. The imagery of the book is beautiful and fluid. I definitely enjoyed the book. If you get a chance read the book. It won’t take long, but is worth it.
Overall I give it a 5 out of 5 stars!
