Critics Review
Of Mice and Men is a thriller, a gripping tale running to novelette length that you will not set down until it is finished. It is more than that; but it is that… . In sure, raucous, vulgar Americanism, Steinbeck has touched the quick in his little story. The New York Times
Brutality and tenderness mingle in these strangely moving pages… . The reader is fascinated by a certainty of approaching doom. Chicago Tribune
A short tale of much power and beauty. Mr. Steinbeck has contributed a small masterpiece to the modern tough-tender school of American fiction. Times Literary Supplement [London]”
