George and Lennie couldn’t be any more opposite. George is a small, quick and sharp man. Lennie is a huge man who drags his feet a little and has his arms hanging loosely at his sides. But the two stick together no matter what. George protecting Lennie from the cruel and insensitive world around them. Lennie just trying to remember what George tells him. So when they both get a job at a ranch, George tries his best to keep Lennie out of trouble since family is the only thing they’ve got going for them.

This classic is a must read. I’m reading a lot of the classics so I have a wide repertoire of novels to use in my analysis essays in my AP class, but I would recommend this book to anyone, especially those of us in here in California since Steinbeck is a California native and most of his novels take place here. This book truly an entertaining read with a crazy ending.
