George is a plotter and a schemer, while Lennie is a mentally deficient hulk of a man who has no concept of his physical strangth. As a team they are not particularly successful, but their friendship is enduring." Shapiro. Fic for Youth. 2nd edition. *** "A parable about commitment, loneliness, hope, and loss, 'Of Mice and Men' remains omne of America's most widely read and beloved novels."
