It has been so long since I've the last time I read this book. It hits differently now than it did then. It is still very well crafted and sad tale. It is almost perfect in how it is crafted and a testament to a master storyteller. I was not a fan of Steinbeck back in school but the his books have grown on me in recent years. I really like that this book is an allegory for the American Dream. I like how Steinbeck is able to capture the character and voice of the time period. Even though I really liked this book it is sad and depressing. As a read this book I noticed connections to many other famous works that this inspired. It is amazing how much story John Steinbeck packs into so few pages. There is a sense of foreboding looming over the story from the start. The foreshadowing from the beginning and throughout leading to the inevitable conclusion is perfection. This is a book that everyone should read whether you like or not is irrelevant but it should be experienced. For the rabbits Lenny, for the rabbits. Me and you, you and me.
