John Steinbeck. Extremely famous author, and rightfully so. I originally got introduced to this book by an English assignment, but it soon because more than just an assignment but a read. I. Love. This. Book. John Steinbeck is truly an amazing author. I'm not even kidding. It's a bloody good book.
It's a classic. But don't shy from it just because it's a classic, it's good too. Telling of George and his simple friend Lennie, it's a story that you will not forget in a hurry. George and Lennie are the best of friends and at the same time completely different from one another. While George is small, witty, with sharp features, Lennie is much rounder, taller, and very very simple minded. Like all drifters, George and Lennie dream of a place to call their own. However, once they come to work on a ranch in California, their hopes begin to go awry... Will they be able to keep their goals on mind and not get into trouble?
There's no doubt about it being good. It's great. It's timeless. It's a classic. It's everything in one. And John Steinbeck is a downright amazing author. But it's also a short read. Consisting of only 107 pages, it's short, easy, and captivating. I really enjoyed it and I found it fascinating that John Steinbeck could make such short a story so good. Really, the book may be thin, but I assure you that the context is not.
I recommend this to all high school kids, and all adults as well. It's honestly an amazing book that everyone should make the effort to read. And if you didn't like it, it didn't even take much of your time anyways.
***I give this book a 9.78 out of 10.***
