My second John Steinbeck novel (after the Pearl), solidifying one of my newfound favorite authors. amazing writing, amazing setup and description and characters, and I don’t see things coming until right before they happen and then I am shocked. The second novel where this happens. Definitely reading more Steinbeck :)

Minor: Sexual violence and Toxic friendship

the violence enacted on Curley's wife was incredibly disturbing and reminiscent of sexual violence. Although Lennie does not sexually harm Curley's wife in any way, the way he kills her is extremely vivid and just reminded me of it. The same can be said about the way Lennie treated that one woman in Weed-it wasn't intentional or meant to be sexual, but from an outsider's perspective it can look like sexual harassment. This is just something to be wary of when reading.
