About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Drifters in search of work, George and simple-minded friend Lennie have nothing in the world except each other - and a dream. A dream that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually they find work on a ranch, but their hopes are doomed as Lennie - struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and jealousy - becomes a victim of his own strength.

Tackling universal themes, friendship and a shared vision, and giving a voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, Of Mice and Men remains Steinbeck's most popular work.

Narration was fantastic , you really feel like you’re there with the characters. The way it’s written makes you feel like you can see what they see, hear what they hear. A great read/listen - it’s become one of my favourites - mainly due to the narration.
If you enjoyed this I’d recommend “to kill a mockingbird” narrated by cissy spacek (probably spelt her name incorrectly)
