Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
3.0
(3.5/5★)
Growing up in the Salinas Valley (Salinas, particularly), when I attended school, John Steinbeck novels were always on our summer reading lists or read throughout the year. Of Mice and Men was one of my favorites of the few I read, partly because it was short and a breeze to read, but also because of the impact it had on me. The relationship between George and Lennie felt so genuine and loving; their goal on one hand, entirely possible - on the other, a far off fantasy. It's always hard reading the last few pages of this book, knowing that they were so close to their version of the American dream.
