Scoring no.6 on America's most contraversial books ever written

A good read. I particularly liked the chapter in which Steinbeck uses a form of magic realism to portray a rather surreal description Lennie's emotions. A classic indeed.

Those boys from Penguin know a thing or two. When they rate a book as a classic, they know what they are doing. I read this book in a morning while on holiday and it is absolutely fantastic. To develop such totally believable characters, to tell such a touching story, and to explore such universal truths in such a short novel is a major, major achievement. So many contemporary novelists who view producing a doorstop as a virtue could learn so much from the sheer economy, efficiency and effectiveness of the prose in this marvellous book. Go out, buy it, enjoy it, and sob your heart out !

An extremely short but nevertheless fantastic book. It makes you wonder why so many people are met with a cruel "justice".
