 Ich weiß nicht was ich dazu sagen soll.
Es scheint alles nicht ausreichend zu sein um dieses Buch zu beschreiben.
Steinbeck ist solch ein meisterhafter Erzähler.
Er schafft es so viel auf so wenigen Seiten zu sagen. Man denkt man hat einen dicken Roman gelesen.
Sobald man das Ende erreicht hat wird einem klar, dass die erste Hälfte komplett forshadowing war und man es am liebsten noch einmal lesen möchte.

Wow such a great book but it's truly got me messed up

George killing Lennie isnt the ending i was expecting at first i figured maybe thered be a chase and gun death but no

Lennies such a nice character he means well and George and him do feel like they care about each other

which makes the ending worse especially when George tells him to remember he was never mad at him

Short fast and devastating three words for this book but good

Magnifique roman graphique, les illustrations sont à tomber par terre! L’histoire est d’ailleurs tout aussi prenante, malgré qu’elle a mal vieilli sous certains aspects (i.e. le seul personnage féminin et son rôle dans l’histoire). J’ai même versé une larme à la fin.

This is a good read but also a truly hard and painful experience. As you go through the book you have to ask yourself these deep grievances and what you think was right. Why did he stay with him. Was what George did at the end what needed to be done. Was it truly merciful to Lennie?
