I read the book in my freshman year as part of English 1, and I didn't pay much attention because I was uninterested in reading the book (Maintained the always stuffty middle school read group book mentality.). I found the copy buried in my history books today, and re-read the story. It really is amazingly written, despite in being less than a hundred pages. The plot was executed quite good, and you really do feel the characters. The ending was sad.

Has anyone else read this novel?

For a second I thought you were going to the same highschool as me, but then I re-read your post.

My Freshmen English class is reading it as well. Haven't reached the end yet, but so far it's a great book with some nice humor. <3 Lennie

Read it last year. Great novel. Too much in it for teachers to exploit though.

If SPOILER didn't shoot Lennie, someone else would have, or worse.

This also.

like I already said like five posts above
read flowers for algernon
it also includes a handicap, except it's modern day and he gets a successful operation that makes him smarter
there's a movie for it, albeit it's pretty trippy

Well, I'm out of this topic. I have the book in my backpack, might as well read ahead of the class anyways.
