Of Mice and Men

After finishing John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, I realized that you can truly never trust anyone. This book was very sad and extremely thought provoking.

Of Mice and Men taught me that not everyone that acts like my friend really is my friend. Perhaps it also taught me that there will never be a friend that will not let me down.

I love the book's style. I feel as if I am where the action in the story is taking place. Steinbeck's abilities are amazing.

Steinbeck has the talent to make me believe in the character's as people. In the story, Steinbeck shows that George is just like other humans in the way that he wanted and needed space from Lennie. It is not that I agree with the way he handled the situation, but through
George's actions, Steinbeck showed me, as the reader, that George felt like any other human would have in the situation.

When reading this book, it reminded me of Cline Eastwood movies. The setting was much the same.

I strongly recommend this book. The text gives an amazing insight into the human heart and what everyone truly feels at times.
