What is 'Of Mice and Men'?

The compelling story of two outsiders striving to find their place in an unforgiving world. Drifters in search of work, George and his 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 in California's Salinas Valley, but their hopes are doomed as Lennie, struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and feelings of jealousy, becomes a victim of his own strength.

Why I loved it?

Unlike most people, I didn't read this book for school- shock horror I know. When most of my year was reading this book, my class was reading Pride and Prejudice (fun, I know). So I decided to pick up this novella just to see what it was all about and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I actually enjoyed the book.

It's a heartwarming but also tragic tale of friendship, hope, and freedom. If you're looking for a good introduction into classics or modern classics I would recommend reading this book. It's very short, easy to read, and a beautifully crafted story.
