Of Mice and Men


Quick summary: The classic novella by John Steinbeck, basically about mice and men, as the title indicates. It tells about Lennie and George, two friends who are trying to earn enough money to buy their own farm.

My review: I actually liked this book. It wasn't my favorite, but I really did enjoy reading it. It had a good pace and didn't contain long boring scenes. It was short and to the point and I liked the concept of it.

My rating:
***1/2

The Pearl

The Pearl. Ah, the famous classic. It is about Kino, a pearl fisher, who finds a giant pearl, but the corrupt evil of the sales brings danger to not only him, but his family.

The beginning of this book boring but very interesting, it's kind of funny because at the end, when it was more exciting, I didn't like it.
