Book Reviews of Of Mice and Men (Steinbeck Centennial Edition)

Book Review: Depressing !!
Summary: 3 Stars

It is quite depressing to read this novel, but I guess it is a good introduction to American culture, or the lack of it. For example, if you are an Indian immigrant, coming from a fairy tale land of Buddha and Gandhi and you find it hard to understand predatory nature of American corporate culture, this is a novel that will give you a glimpse of "American way of life.". I think one should read these books before one starts to dream about migrating to America. Otherwise reality shock that one gets after living and working in a private corporation in USA will be not only surprising but also painful.

Steinback has tried to condense as much possible in as few pages as possible and it kind of dramatizes the story too much. May be he could have gone a bit slow to make it even more appealing. But I agree that most of the american way of life is what is depicted in the novel. Strong trying to prey on weak. This is what has always happened in america from day one. From Native americans that were the first victim to white lust to the today's common man in america which is nothing but a unit of production in the capitalistic system, it is always weak that have been used by the strong. Masks have changed, but exploiter and exploited always continue to exist and the american dream is for exploited to think that one day he will be the exploiter.
