Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

George and Lennie are complete opposites, George is wise and small, while Lennie is a large, strong man who seems to suffer from mental problems. As different as they were, I thought George and Lennie would stick together through anything. George and Lennie have one thing in common, and that is their desire to own an acre of land that they are in charge of. While trying to make the money to buy the land George and Lennie work on a ranch in the Salinas Valley, where there dreams are one step away from becoming true. Despite his unswerving obedience to George, Lennie has screwed up many times in the past because of fear and his unawareness of his own strength.
Despite Lennie's flaws, he is my favorite character in the book. Lennie seemed to be unique in that he is overly loving and unbelievably loyal to George. I overall enjoyed Of Mice and Men even though i was not completely satisfied with the ending.
