stunningly beautiful

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another stunningly beautiful tale told by John Steinbeck. In a mere hundred pages, Steinbeck paints character portraits so rich and real that i could see and feel them. What a heartbreaking, yet inevitable ending to this short but powerful story of grace, love, and trust, and of the triumph of love in spite of, and in the midst of a tragic, horrible ending. It is the mark of a great author to leave the reader in a state of awe and of shock at the ending of a story, even knowing that this ending was inevitable, and even expected. Welcome, John Steinbeck, to my list of favorite authors.
