Steinbeck, John - Of Mice and Men

Pulled it off the shelf last night in order to continue my reading some classics fest. Read it in one shot.

Slightly disturbing ending. The build up in it is fantastic {spoiler} first the dead mouse, than the puppy, then the girl... it still creeps up on you and slams you in the face when you realise what's happened. You feel desperately sorry for Lennie - not at all angry for what he's done. The George's action on dealing with him throws some very interesting questions up around ethics.
