      Re: Of Mice and Men

      I studied the book in English Literature and did a whole 2 hour exam based on it. Good book, but I never want to see it again as we literally tore it apart so much by studying everything about it; the characters, settings and possible themes.

      I remember reading it six years ago, while the memory is vague I do remember enjoying it.

      I suggest you put the ending in a spoiler for those who have not read the book yet...
