A review by praevalesco
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

2.0

The premise was alright, but the execution was lacking to say the least. Taking a sad concept and writing it with the most surface level, stereotypical characters really ruins any potential the story could've had; the mentally impaired character was written as a stupid brute and the "caregiver" was written as dispassionate and irritated with the stupid brute's shortcomings. Let's not forget the unnecessary racism that added nothing to the story except telling what time it was written.
Good concept, terrible story.
