Emotional Damage in Under 150 Pages

Of Mice and MenOf Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

😐 holy sh*t. That was... awful.

I really liked it, which somehow makes it worse. Steinbeck does an incredible job building quiet hope and fragile humanity just long enough to rip it away. It's short, cruel, and devastating... and far more emotionally effective that it has any right to be.

P.S. I really feel as though this one deserves another read through and some BIG THOUGHTS, so I'll probably read this again.
