Of Mice and Men

John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men is the tale of two men traveling through life together. For Lennie, George is his friend and role model; for George, Lennie is an unexpected friend and a burden, but they're family. Both men, repeatedly getting kicked off ranches, wonder from town to town with only a fickle dream propelling them.

George is witty and small, while Lennie is ginormous and somewhat mentally challenged. Lennie is always getting in trouble, while George is always getting him out of trouble. The duo arrives at a new ranch and find their dream finally coming true with a little help from some new friends. But trouble seems to be waiting around every corner and Lennie just keeps bumping into it...

I wouldn't recommend this book:
1. for the language through out the book! There was a curse word on every line!
2. if your a fan of happy endings, the ending was horrible!

But if those things don't bother you, you might enjoy this book, after all it is a classic (for some reason).
