(Book) Of Mice and Men

[United-Clowgon]

I really love this book and Flim. I'm not really a fan of reading books imo but so far this is the only book that i have really enjoyed reading.

Anyone else read the book/watch the film?

[Stryderman]

Heard of it but picking up a book is another thing for me, Unless its written by Joseph delaney or whtever his name is i wont touch a book.

[Becca]

I think my sister is reading that now. I'm reading Private Peaceful ATM. It's really good!

Seriously, i recommend reading the book, it's so intense throughout and there's the occasional funny bits. :P

Nice. What does she think of it so far?

[Rozi]

I did Of Mice and Men for my GCSE text and I really liked it. I actually enjoyed doing my coursework because I just really interested in the characters lol. Lots of comedic lenny accents in my class lol :P I didn't like the film really, but I think that was just because I knew the book too well.

[United-Clowgon]

Ye lol. "Tend the rabbits" Lenny was well funny throughout.

[Misawa]

Studied it to death 5 years ago, so sick of it.

[Caution]

I read it a few months ago for my Standard Grade English and watched the film. I found it interesting and managed to write a decent essay on it cos it's really easy to understand and everything. The ending was quite sad though, but I suppose it was for the best really. Quite sad as a whole, but funny in parts.

Same :) I quite enjoyed studying it but agree that the ending was sad :(

Can you elaborate on this? I haven't read or watched it but I saw this line mentioned in the title of a Facebook group and wondered what it meant.

[MrGazet]

I've heard of it but never read it

Is it good?

[Immenseman]

good old lenny and george.

[Callum.]

Had it for English GCSE. Thought it was alright, seemed easier than some of the books others got.

[Becca]

Nice. What does she think of it so far?

She thought it was good. She finished it yesterday.

[Sharpsterz]

Forced to do it in English GCSE, its actually good though, Your not allowed to call Lennie a dum though, you have to call him "mentally unstable" :D

[[Jay]]

I also done this for my GCSE's really great book, I dont do much reading but I have read that a few times :P

[Grig]

Classic, although not the best I've read. Well plotted novel.

[GommeInc]

I remember reading it for school, it's quite interesting :) The way Lenny is like a child to George with how he needs to having someone look after him. The theatre production is very good too, if it's on near you definitely consider going!

[Jessie]

I just did an exam on it. i never want to see it again.

Although saying that i did like the character of Lennie and felt really sad for george at the end of the book..

[Oleh]

We watched the movie aswell as read the book and i was actually tempted to scream "boom headshot!" :P

[Neversoft]

You and me both.

[Pix]

"I was only joking George, i don't want ketchup" bless him

[ihatehash]

studied it last year.
"tend the rabbits" was an important kinda them throughout signifying how the American Dream was unreachable for the average american. also i cnt believe the two dogs dying :( that was sad

[TickTockTickTock]

Studied it last year & the year before that, it killed me, I killed it. Unlucky Mr.Book.

[CJW93]

Lennie gets pwnd

[Fehm]

A very poignant book to be honest!

[jukeb0x]

Studied it 2 years ago for GCSE. It wasn't half bad, this coming from someone who never reads. I watched the film and thought the exam was a good one.

[JamesM115]

yeah its pretty ****, ive seen the film like 5 times in school and read the book .

[Madox]

:O im doing this for my GCSE's i love the film and i love the book its funny when he cracks curleys wife neck LOL

[Bradley.]

[Arron]

Of Mice and Men is an amazing book & film.

This got me a C in my GCSE :)

[Rombix]

please don't remind me of my english coursework days!

[Sulai]

i had to study it like 3 years ago in GCSE's in year 11.. great book, what a nightmare the amount of times we had to read it tho.

helped me get an A :)

the film is a piece of cinematic brilliance.

[Xoim]

I thought it was both a great read and a funny movie x]

read it last year :>

[Mathew]

After completing English Language GCSE last November (successfully getting an A), we too are going on to study English Literature.

We've just finished reading this book and now doing mock exam questions on it. Absolutely brilliant book. Very well written. We should be watching the film in class sometime soon.

[Japan]

Who is the author? I really can't be bothered to google it.
Anyway, we're studying Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice for English Lit. and I'm already bored of it (Mr Darcy please go and die.)

[Pyroka]

The book and movie are both great. I almost cried at the movie though... srsly... so sad. :(

[Mathew]

Who is the author? I really can't be bothered to google it.
John Steinbeck :)
