Book Review

I know this book review is suppose to be for a book of leisure, well I read one but it was The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and since Dr. Zimmerly did a book talk on it I won't. So I am going to tell you about a book that you may have read in High School, but I a covering it in my class so I read it. It is called Of Mice and Men.
This is an amazing book about the spirit of man, loneliness, friendship, and showing mercy for others. It is about to men who travel together as migrant workers during the Great Depression. One man is small (George)and keeps a watch on the other who is big and 'slow' (Lennie). Lennie seems to always get them into trouble, he has a desire to touch soft things which has led to their need to move to the next farm fairly quickly. At their current farm Lennie reaches to touch the soft hair of the landlords wife and accidentally things lead to him killing her.
Now I said this was a book that was a testament to loneliness, friendship, mercy, and the spirit of man. If you want to see how you will have to read the book.
There are boys in my class that have never read a book, and they are reading ahead in this book and have written wonderful essays about it :) Just had to share!
