Of mice and men is a heart endearing tale of two friend during the 1930's in post recession america. However early on I would like to state that this book is not for children under the age of 14 or those without a ear for harsh language and sorrow. Lennie is mentally retarded, with the mind of a four year old. George takes care of him. This friendship makes a lasting tale and proposes main ideas of suffering vs death and the role that human interaction plays in out lives. I would highly recommend this book to anyone included in my statement above and even to adults, so recommend away, this is a book, nay an american classic that will not disappoint.
Recommeded to: Over 14 and not sensitive to vulgar language/profaar language/profanity.

How did you find out about this book? It is a staple in literature classes. Chances are, you will read "The Grapes of Wrath", which is also by Steinbeck. His writing was so profound that a museum was built in Salinas. It features interactive based on the subjects of his books.
