A parable of commitment, loneliness, hope and loss, OF MICE AND MEN is a powerful and moving portrayal of two men striving to understand their own unique place in the 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, 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, friendship and a shared vision, and giving a voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, OF MICE AND MEN remains Steinbeck's most popular work.

It was pretty obvious that Lennie would die or go to prison anyways, but did George need to kill him himself. Was this easier for Lennie or was it easier for George?

  • We had to read this when I was in high school, and I must admit that it was quite strange, and really unremarkable in my opinion. I did not see why so many teachers rave about it and choose it for their classes.

    This book is not for the faint of heart, I'm normally not a fan of drama not to say they aren't good I just prefer to keep what I read in the mystery or lighthearted realm but this book is a classic and must read for any bookworm. It's an excellent book but I only mark books with LOVE it! if I were for sure to read them again, I wouldn't reread this book by choice.
