This is such a tragic story, the characters are so well drawn for such a short book. You can feel the hope they have for this idea of a place of their own, and it's so close they can almost grasp it. But it's inevitably not meant to be.

This book has made me think more about my own life and my friendships. Even though my friendship will never become the outcome of this story. But how much love and care George had for Lennie.

I really enjoyed the story and I really like the the two main characters.

It's a real simple read but it has so many hidden morals within the story that it's become more than simple.

Pick it up if your in the mood for a easy heart felt classic,

*Note the grammar in my kindle verison of this book was really bad. So if the books are like that too, im just warning you if you hate correcting words. lol.*
