Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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 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 dispossesed, OF MICE AND MEN remains Steinbeck's most popular work.

Was a short novella but it was really good and every part of it all matters. Crazy that it was written so long ago!

Not a dull moment

I simply loved this book.

Short simple story but conveyed so much. I really enjoyed it.

Even though I knew they would probably never get their own plot of land, you still hoped for them.

The ending was so Sad.

A harrowing story with a message that will resonate deep with any reader. The narrator begins the story to life and adds a realism that will leave you heartbroken.

Beautiful performance, heartbreaking story.
