Book Research The main characters of this book are: Mack and the boys and Doc. Mack and the boys are a group of scheming men who live in a fish shack. Mack is the main leader of the group. Mack is what you would call a rebel that likes to get into trouble, a lot. As for the boys of the group, they are just as bad as Mack. They follow what he does in certain situations, such as stealing bottles of alcohol from his work and bringing it home to the boys. Hazel is the one out of the group that actually works hard, surprisingly. Apart from the boys, Doc is proprietor of Western Biological Laboratory. Doc is the guy that everyone wants to make happy because he feels lonely most of the time. The boys are always looking for ways to impress him. Cannery Row is a fictional type book that kept my attention the whole time. The book was set in the cannery district of Monterey, California around the 20th century. Not much was happening around this time but historical events were occurring. In my opinion this book was disturbing at certain point, which I could tell was the climax of the book. Doc had found a dead body on the beach just on a normal day and even witnessed a suicide. The main point of Mac and the boys was they were trying to throw a party for Doc to appreciate him in many ways. The party did not go over too well. In the end, they tried to throw another party for Doc and it all ended well, with him being happy. I would recommend this book to readers that love fictional events and suspense. It wasn’t my favorite book I have read so far but I would recommend it to most people. The reason I didn’t like it is the events at times weren’t relevant to the plot. Doc witnessed a dead body had nothing to do with Mack losing his job and having to find a way to make his way. This may have been one of the most enduring book I have read but I am glad I did.
