I think the “Of Mice and Men” Novella is a decent “read because you’re bored” book. It’s interesting enough to with the plot and the characters can grow on a person. However, it is not the most eventful book and personally, I think it’s kind of pointless. There is no clear moral to this story, just an unsatisfying kind of depressing ending. I feel like it could’ve ended with something less abrupt with a proper conclusion but instead it left me thinking “What did I just read?” I do wish Lennie could have more of a dignified way to die rather than it happening because of another repeated mistake. Despite all of my criticisms, it is a decently written book with a plot that is easy to follow.
