There's a lot that can be said about Of Mice and Men, but I'll keep this short. I had to analyze and study this book, and I honestly think I enjoyed it more because of that. As soon as you start reading it, you can tell that something tragic will be happening, and the suspense will keep you going. The writing is straightforward, it may be difficult at first as Steinbeck writes as his characters would speak. The title is extremely fitting to the story, and I loved how the juxtaposition between the character's dreams and the poverty they lived in reveals that their “American Dream” was nothing more than a hopeless dream.
