A truly beautiful book that is simplistic yet sets each character up as individual. You truly feel all of George's emotions being stuck with Lenny, yet you feel sympathy for Lenny, a gentle soul too strong for his own good. The ending is truly brutal but essential to the story and although it hurts George to kill Lenny it is essential else Lenny would surely befall a worse fate if Curly got a hold of him. I hope after George, Candy and Crooks got their farm and had some rabbits. Lenny would have loved the rabbits.

The ending was really sad. I didn’t think I was attached to the characters, but it turns out I was.

Lord have mercy... this drained me. Despite being 75% exposition and 25% plot, I fell in love with the two main characters and their friendship. I don't think I'll ever read it again, though. It's too much on my heart.
