Great performance
Why is this a classic though? Just seemed like a good ramble. What did I miss?

Brought the story alive
I’ve read this book as a need to understand historical context of the Great Depression from a fictional prospective. Prior knowledge of this book was that it wasn’t the most gripping work of Steinbeck but overall it was a pleasant two hour listen. Gripping performance which allowed the story to come alive. Also allowed clear world building from the actor’s prospective of America during this period.

Adaptation of the original work
It is a theatrical adaptation of the original work, not the original book narated.
