This Presentation is about my view on Of Mice and Men. The book is interesting with all the different characters and learning about what they do all day. So I would suggest, read this review and then read the book. I hope you enjoy it. I liked the beginning of the book but how it ended made me really sad. I really liked the character of Lennie.
