I gave this book a one star for the cursing! I was shocked to see that the book has a excellent amount of cursing and that the school recommended this book to be read.

This book was reasonably possibly the worst book i’ve ever had to read. No wait, the worst ever was The Pearl! What is incorrect with Steinbeck? Why does he feel he needs to kill main characters? I would seriously recomend that you never read this book ever. If you have to for highschool, I feel extremely sorry for you. In cnclusion I just have to say George, just let Lennie tend the Frickin’ rabbits and Kino, throw the pearl away already!

Before I start my criticisms, I will mention that my focus of this review is not on my personal preferences regarding characterizations, settings, themes, authors, etc. I know that I cannot expect all authors to write a tale that I personally delight in and can tell to. Even if the theme matter of Of Mice and Men had interested me, I still would have agreed the novel a one star rating because of my criticism that I will clarify in this review.
I am giving this novel a one star rating because it has a lot of brassy dialogue. There is an average of about 4 profanities per page.
Secondly, even if I were to set aside my moral views of this novel, I still would choose to give this novel a one star rating. In my opinion, the plot structure is not all that excellent. The climax and resolution could have followed directly after the first 1/3 of the novel. There are too many conversations that seem to fill up space with unnecessary dialogue which describes the backgrounds of characters and personalities that do not play a significant role (if even a role at all) in the outcome of the tale.
Furthermore, Of Mice and Men has too many characters for its very simple plot. In my opinion, the advantage to having a lot of characters is to make intricate subplots which play a significant role in the outcome of the tale
I do not insist on reading action-packed tales. In fact, I sometimes prefer tales that are mainly comprised of dialogue. But, I do permanently want to see that there is a CLEAR DIRECTION in the conversations that progressively leads to the climax. In my opinion, the dialogue in Of Mice and Men did not meet these criteria. In fact, mid-way through the novel, I really felt as though the tale was approaching a dead-end, and I reflect that John Steinbeck probably felt the same way. Therefore, he made the climax take a sharp turn off course just so the plot would not slam into a wall.
Due to the offensive content and weak plot structure, I do not recommend Of Mice and Men.
