Read it for school as I'm sure most people did. It's alright; way shorter than I thought it would be. The writing is good, but it also comes across as a little bit whiney and pessimistic, and it ends up sounding like every other book written and set in that era of time. It's extremely hard to like any of the characters, which might be the point but it made it kind of a slog to read even though it's so short.

5.0

Un classico della letteratura americana degli anni Trenta del secolo scorso, in una traduzione recentissima, interpretato con intensità da Graziano Piazza.
Uomini e topi è la storia di un'improbabile amicizia in un contesto di povertà, violenza e ignoranza.
Un libro da leggere o ascoltare!
