froon's review against another edition
1.5
i picked this up because i was interested in the prolific classic. in the end, i found that i only really enjoyed the parts with lenny and george by themselves (which, unfortunately ends up being just the very beginning and end of the book). additionally, i kept waiting for some sort of reveal or revelation. something about lenny and george’s past or something about when crook said “i wish there was someone there to tell me if what i saw was real or if i was dreaming.” or something with slim. just anything. unfortunately, there was no payoff.
i don’t agree with people who think it’s ridiculous that this book is taught in schools because i think there’s a lot of academic discussion that can be found here. however, as a book i’m reading for pleasure, i found the experience a bit torturous.
