Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Drifters in search of work, George and simple-minded friend Lennie have nothing in the world except each other - and a dream. A dream that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually they find work on a ranch, but their hopes are doomed as Lennie - struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and jealousy - becomes a victim of his own strength.
Tackling universal themes, friendship and a shared vision, and giving a voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, Of Mice and Men remains Steinbeck's most popular work.

what a story
what a story.. a love story.. a story about hope.. the human condition..they had no chance, because of elements in the personality.. life is so hard if you are very poor..the dream shatters.. certainly worth reading and listening.. it will stay with me

Really enjoyable
I really enjoyed this book, short but powerful. It was read beautifully too, the scene was set instantly. After a long book it was just what was needed

Short n sweet
Narration was fantastic , you really feel like you’re there with the characters. The way it’s written makes you feel like you can see what they see, hear what they hear. A great read/listen - it’s become one of my favourites - mainly due to the narration.
If you enjoyed this I’d recommend “to kill a mockingbird” narrated by cissy spacek (probably spelt her name incorrectly)
