What Members Thought
Somehow I never read this book and was excited to see it was on tap for one of my students. After all these years, and knowing it is considered a classic, I am disappointed. I thought the end particularly sucked.
A clear portrait of the farming people of rural California during the early part of the 20th century. Emotions while reading this alternated between beauty/hope and despair/disgust.
Another of the ones read for my classes. This is a slow read, but it is still deeply moving and the ending still makes me quite sad. It's a good display of the time period, economically, sexually, racially. George and Lennie will forever have my heart, and the ending, every single time, kept my heart squeezed and saddened.

Interesting book; it seemed to move a little faster than I would have preferred, but it was a good read. I don't think I would read it again, but I really liked the relationship between the two main characters.
