Goodreads Description
The compelling story of two outsiders striving to find their place in an unforgiving world. Drifters in search of work, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie have nothing in the world except each other and a dream--a dream that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually, they find work on a ranch in California’s Salinas Valley, but their hopes are doomed as Lennie, struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and feelings of jealousy, becomes a victim of his own strength. Tackling universal themes such as the friendship of a shared vision, and giving voice to America’s lonely and dispossessed, Of Mice and Men has proved one of Steinbeck’s most popular works, achieving success as a novel, a Broadway play, and three acclaimed films
My Review
Reading Steinbeck always amuses me. He is an easy read in Of Mice and Men.
In his writing, he makes no pretense. He is brash in the way he untangles life's complexities. And, in his describing the crash of the shot, it reminds me very much of how I would describe his writing style.'.rolled up the hills and down again'.
