As it turned out I'd read "Of Mice and Men" before, but completely forgot about it. Yep, that happens to me from time to time. Still I was touched by Lennie and George's friendship and their dream, and how that dream affected other people around them. 
 It's a story about who you are and who you wanna be. A story filled with kindness and hope. And a heart-breaking decision at the end. 5 stars.
