Of Mice and Men

John Steinbeck (1902-1968) – There isn’t much too this story on first reading it. It only took me one day to get through it, it’s so short. I think if I were to look deeper into it and study it more I would find a message in it. But it didn’t impress me very much. It’s a classic and it was easy to read. I was a little surprised with the language in the book. I think I’m usually so sheltered in my book choices that I didn’t expect it. There was also the accent written into it. I don’t particularly like that. I prefer to read the actual words as they should be. Not with the hick accent that the characters speak in. (1930s)
