Lo spezzone di umanità che Steinbeck racconta in queste poche pagine mi ha lasciata senza fiato. Una lettura che stringe il cuore, capace di mostrare come la speranza possa essere fragile e come la realtà possa distruggerla con una vellutata e indifferente ferocia, sul finale ho quasi pianto e per me è una gran cosa.
Um conto sobre o despertar do sonho americano para a realidade. Uma narrativa dura que revela a fragilidade humana perante as adversidades, na busca por um ideal de vida que nunca chega a concretizar-se.
Can't describe how much I liked this book, finished it in one session, made me tear up by how emotional the end was. Highly recommend!
Of Mice and Men is a quiet, slow-moving book that explores themes like isolation, broken dreams, and the limits of kindness. The writing is plain and direct, and the atmosphere is heavy throughout — but for me, it just didn’t leave a strong emotional impact.The characters felt real, and I understood what Steinbeck was trying to say, but the story felt too subdued. It’s the kind of book that relies more on mood and message than plot or character depth, and that left me feeling a bit disconnected. I kept waiting for it to “hit,” but it never really did.I can respect its place as a classic, but overall, it didn’t resonate with me the way I hoped it would.
Had to read this for high school. I remember liking the structure very much, as well as the way the characters were written.
