Reading this book is similar to receiving a punch to the stomach， but longer。 But I'm glad I read it。 It was devastatingly sad， the scenes of description were beautiful， and I felt so awful for Lennie。One critique: why wasn't Curley's wife fleshed out more？？ I think Steinbeck should've either taken her full antagonist or had more sympathy for her。 What she was doing was wrong， but she wasn't a soulless monster。 She wasn't great， and horribly racist， of course。 So I guess there's that。 But still。 Reading this book is similar to receiving a punch to the stomach， but longer。 But I'm glad I read it。 It was devastatingly sad， the scenes of description were beautiful， and I felt so awful for Lennie。One critique: why wasn't Curley's wife fleshed out more？？ I think Steinbeck should've either taken her full antagonist or had more sympathy for her。 What she was doing was wrong， but she wasn't a soulless monster。 She wasn't great， and horribly racist， of course。 So I guess there's that。 But still。Anyway， very sad。 Some of my friends did a hilariously bad short film of this for English， and thinking of it is what kept me going as I finished it。 。。。more

John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" is an American classic， one that I have now read twice for both middle and high school， in Finnish and English respectively。 I must say that this second read-through was much more rewarding thanks to the original language， prior familiarity with the book and additional life experience in general。 The book is very thin and easy to read and yet， it dives deep into the themes of friendship， loneliness， betrayal， neglect， good and evil， hope and disappointment， inn John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" is an American classic， one that I have now read twice for both middle and high school， in Finnish and English respectively。 I must say that this second read-through was much more rewarding thanks to the original language， prior familiarity with the book and additional life experience in general。 The book is very thin and easy to read and yet， it dives deep into the themes of friendship， loneliness， betrayal， neglect， good and evil， hope and disappointment， innocence and guilt。 It's a well crafted story where every element has a place and a purpose。 In other words it's the perfect book for school literature class: it's so short that analyzing it from cover to cover is entirely possible and still it's full of content so that the analysis will be very fruitful。 In fact， our teacher has made us look for anywhere from three to six stylistic devices per line for a couple of extracts already and we have found those and more with relative ease。 "Of Mice and Men" is a tragic story about two itinerant workers with a dream of having a little piece of land to call their home。 However， things don't really go as they have planned。 It's a touching story and one that really doesn't have good and bad guys per se， although some are nastier than others。 The point is that the story is very nuanced and well written。 In addition to that， the setting and characters support the plot and the atmosphere perfectly。 It's just exemplary writing throughout。 For this， I can give the book a general recommendation for every literary geek but especially those interested in writing。 However， as an easily accessible and well-written classic， it's a great read for every high school student。 。。。more

I cried when I reached the ending of this book。 Of Mice and Men is a touching story that left me thinking about all the people who never got to see their simple dreams come true。 This is my first Steinbeck novel， and I am impressed and ready to delve into his other novels。

23/08/21 -- I really enjoyed this book as it being a classic， it wasn't hard to follow。 The ethics of the ending get you to really think and debate what you would have done and if you think it was right。 The book itself is short so it is an easy read。 The writing is colourful and detailed。 Nature plays an important part and it's a beautiful coming of age book to read and understand。 It has been read throughout the years with many generations and has been on the list for gcses。The only thing I ha 23/08/21 -- I really enjoyed this book as it being a classic， it wasn't hard to follow。 The ethics of the ending get you to really think and debate what you would have done and if you think it was right。 The book itself is short so it is an easy read。 The writing is colourful and detailed。 Nature plays an important part and it's a beautiful coming of age book to read and understand。 It has been read throughout the years with many generations and has been on the list for gcses。The only thing I have to comment that it is a bit slow at introducing the characters and getting action。 It focuses more on the setting and nature; seemingly influenced by drama scripts and films。The most satisfaction I got from this book was when I had finished it， being able to see the foreshadowing and parallel scenes reoccurring throughout and the freedom of thought you can have on the decisions that take place。 Overall， I do think it is a valuable book to read for coming of age and building character。 。。。more

It was kind of intriguing， but the story wasn't something that would leave you with linger thoughts， and wanting to pick up the book and read as soon as you are free。 In all honesty， it was boring， and the way the story was portrayed could have been better。 But the plot is definitely there just not executed to its highest potential， so it does deserve 3 stars for the characters and story。 It was kind of intriguing， but the story wasn't something that would leave you with linger thoughts， and wanting to pick up the book and read as soon as you are free。 In all honesty， it was boring， and the way the story was portrayed could have been better。 But the plot is definitely there just not executed to its highest potential， so it does deserve 3 stars for the characters and story。 。。。more

With good cause， Of Mice and Men is a well-known classic。 The book may appear dull （as do many novels about the Great Depression）， yet it is a wonderful tribute to literature。 The story revolves around a man named George and his kind-hearted， childish friend Lennie。 They get work in a ranch after fleeing their last job because Lennie got them into problems， and it appears that he may get into difficulty again in this book because George may not have been able to help him。 The book is great becau With good cause， Of Mice and Men is a well-known classic。 The book may appear dull （as do many novels about the Great Depression）， yet it is a wonderful tribute to literature。 The story revolves around a man named George and his kind-hearted， childish friend Lennie。 They get work in a ranch after fleeing their last job because Lennie got them into problems， and it appears that he may get into difficulty again in this book because George may not have been able to help him。 The book is great because of the characters， not only because of the great use of description， but also because Steinbeck shows how children are， in some cases， better people than adults in the way that they do not judge people because they do not see people or things from that point of view （an example being childlike Lennie， who has a mental disability， though they were unaware of it at the time the book was written）。 。。。more

Uomini e topi è la storia di due uomini， George e Lennie， che lavorano per il loro sogno essenzialmente quello di ritirarsi dai soliti lavori acquistando una propria fattoria。La storia mostra in modo brillante quanto sia facile realizzare i sogni， quanto sia ovvio che ogni persona abbia sogni e quanto sia importante seguirli。Ma Steinbeck trasforma lentamente le cose in un incubo introducendo Curley e sua moglie。Steinbeck mostra come i sogni sono davvero fatti di niente， tenuti insieme da niente Uomini e topi è la storia di due uomini， George e Lennie， che lavorano per il loro sogno essenzialmente quello di ritirarsi dai soliti lavori acquistando una propria fattoria。La storia mostra in modo brillante quanto sia facile realizzare i sogni， quanto sia ovvio che ogni persona abbia sogni e quanto sia importante seguirli。Ma Steinbeck trasforma lentamente le cose in un incubo introducendo Curley e sua moglie。Steinbeck mostra come i sogni sono davvero fatti di niente， tenuti insieme da niente e possono essere strappati da pensieri che non esistono e dopo pochi secondi diventano reali。Steinbeck potrebbe non essere noto per il movimento di scrittura veloce， e anche se questa storia inizia con lenta con la descrizione del paesaggio lungo l’inizio del primo capitolo， in solo 30 pagine， le torsioni e le trame radicate iniziano， e una volta che sono partite， la storia si legge come un thriller caratterizzato da un personaggio – Con alcuni camei dei personaggi più memorabili della letteratura gettati nel mix。Il modo in cui tutti i difetti del carattere si combinano al momento giusto per innescare un’esplosione epica ricorda il grande Gatsby。Ed essendo così breve， e come si fa leggere così facilmente， e la rassegnazione al fato di avere dei sogni e farli strappare via per motivi quasi incontrollabili，Uomini e topi è un capolavoro diverso da qualsiasi altra cosa mai scritta。 。。。more

This is one of those books that isn't really "about" something。 It's a book to be experienced， the point is to be affected by it。I chose to listen to actor Gary Sinese's audiobook because recently I had so enjoyed his performance of another Steinbeck classic， "Travels With Charley。"This audiobook performance is even better。 Sinese applies his acting skills brilliantly。 This isn't a reading， it's a tender and deeply moving enactment。It's not even four hours long。 Treat yourself to it！ This is one of those books that isn't really "about" something。 It's a book to be experienced， the point is to be affected by it。I chose to listen to actor Gary Sinese's audiobook because recently I had so enjoyed his performance of another Steinbeck classic， "Travels With Charley。"This audiobook performance is even better。 Sinese applies his acting skills brilliantly。 This isn't a reading， it's a tender and deeply moving enactment。It's not even four hours long。 Treat yourself to it！ 。。。more

One of my favorite books of all time。 I read it once in high school and then read again as an adult after my daughter （in high school at the time） was given the assignment to read it。 It was great。 The book has a way of encouraging you to self reflect and to reflect on your surroundings and the choices you make in life that will effect others。

This book definitely addresses very important topics of racism， poverty， treatment of women， inequality， frienship， agony， and that's just to name a few。 That is brilliant， however this book is really very graphic and i question how necessary that was， and whether it was just for shock value。 However， the book does go into great， vivid detail covering many many issues， including alienation and discrimination of marginalised groups during the Great Depression， and how people had to make a living This book definitely addresses very important topics of racism， poverty， treatment of women， inequality， frienship， agony， and that's just to name a few。 That is brilliant， however this book is really very graphic and i question how necessary that was， and whether it was just for shock value。 However， the book does go into great， vivid detail covering many many issues， including alienation and discrimination of marginalised groups during the Great Depression， and how people had to make a living doing anything they could。 The ending is shocking and heartbreaking， slightly unexpected too。 Overall， not my favourite but certainly a great read， though it is very graphic and can be hard to read at times。 。。。more
