Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
4.0
A classic book that most people have read in high school, but hated. I was one, until I watched the film which made me fall in love with the story.
Steinbeck is a classic literature author that will go down in history. The book; Of Mice and Men is set during the Great Depression and features George and Lennie. They battle through tough times and decide to find a way out. Steinbeck describes Lennie as mentally disabled and due to the unawareness of his strength he kills a women on the farm where they were working. George and Lennie escape, where George ends up shooting Lennie in the back of the head to allow him to feel peace and escape without the worry of his actions, consequences and constance self-struggle.
Steinbeck writes this book in a truly beautiful manner that could not be replicated now.
