Title: Of Mice and Men
Author: John Steinbeck
Rating: Middle Shelf
This novella is a short story about two friends over 4 days. George and Lennie dream of a better life. They want the American dream for themselves even though they have a major roadblock in their way.
Throughout the novella they meet and interact with other characters with big dreams like Crooks, Curley, and Candy.
Of Mice and Men is a very deep book for such few pages. Steinbeck does not waste a single page of the book though!
This book is really one of a kind because of the way it censors the characters to portray the viewpoints of the time period.
I read this book in my English class because it was a requirement. I think I would enjoy this more if I read it for fun without doing such a large analysis of it.
