Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
3.0

Lenny and George are two young migrant workers, hoping to save enough money to have their own farm someday - with rabbits that Lenny will tend. We see a glimpse of one of the farms they work at, and the trouble they get into.

There's a lot to dig into here - leaning towards allegory, but not quite. Lots of symbolism and the reality that Life Happens, and how every life is important and can shape us.

BUT POOR LENNY.

Another Steinbeck book that I was kind of okay with.
