It is a fiction story and is 107 pages long. This book takes place during the Great Depression, begins beside the Salinas River near Soledad where two migrant workers, Lennie Small and George Milton, are two best friend s that have stuck with each other since they were born. They are walking on their way to a nearby ranch to get a new job working on a ranch. Lennie is a tall, strong man but is not very smart at all. George on the other hand, is small, not so tough, but is smart. They have a dream to own an acre of land and have jobs on the ranch. When George and Lennie reach the bunkhouse at the farm where they work, a man named Curley, the Boss’s son, comes in and starts a fight with George, but goes nowhere. Lennie always wanted a pet to take care of. He really wanted to have a dog. So a man named slim had a litter of puppies, he gave one to Lennie. Later on, Curley searches for his wife, and suspects Lennie is laughing at him, so he attacks him. Lennie lets Curley beat him up until George steps in and tells Lennie he can fight back, which leads to Lennie crushing Curley’s hand. The next morning, Lennie accidently kills his puppy. Curley’s wife approaches Lennie, lets him feel her hair. When he handles her too forcefully, she screams. Lennie covers her mouth and accidentally snaps her neck. Being scared, Lennie runs away from the barn and goes to a safe place (a brush by the river) where George told him to go if he ever got into trouble. Candy (an old man who works on the farm) and George find the body and infer that Lennie is guilty, so Candy alerts the other men, and Curley forms a group to search for Lennie and kill him. In the meantime, George steals Carlson’s (the boss) gun, leading the other men to think that Lennie took it before he escaped. George, who points Curley and the other men in the wrong direction, finds Lennie in the brush where he told him to return. You should read this book because it is a story that will always keep you guessing and keep you at the edge of your seat. I recommend this book to anyone who likes suspenseful, sad, but gripping stories about friendship and life. Tyler J-Gloggermedia type="custom" key="12126312" width="2" height="2"
