@@alinajune8652 How would you think if Lennie was alive, stayed innocent his whole adult life, kept killing anyone in his way, and had not been taken care of well by George? Now. that would've been insane.
frrrrrr like george, candy, and slim all knew he had the mind of a child and didnt fully know what he was capable of doing so like one of them shouldve just watched him and taken shifts.
Hanna Curlee I’m going to have to disagree with you there. 1) the wife was completely misunderstood she wasn’t provocative she was just extremely lonely cause she wasn’t allowed to talk to anyone and 2) she didn’t know about lennie accidental killing animals because of getting frustrated she thought he was fairly normal so how on earth would she have known freaking out was going to make him even more stressed? Lennie was the only person that didn’t treat her like she was a slut so she felt safe around him. That’s why she she felt comfortable having lennie touch her hair in the first place
Nadia Karamat she compared him to a baby But she knew he had the strength to ruin curlys hand But also knew he ACCIDENTALLY killed a puppy, he didn’t table his strength She also kept calling him crazy I pity her but it was also a bit of a fault (Lenny’s too, and honestly George for not teaching him to be gentle)
Hanna Curlee all of that is true yes but she couldn’t have possibly have completely understand that he was truly mentally disabled and couldn’t comprehend what to do in that kind of situation. I think it’s George fault for leaving him alone and not teaching him what to do in those situations but I really don’t think it was her fault

A non-american reading this for a book club meeting , and although I could have read the book directly this audio version is beyond incredible ! The narration, the acting , even when I read passages on the paper version I read them in the tone of this narrator because he impacted me this much , listening to this is a wonderful experience and adds so much to an already great classic !
I just finished reading this while listening to the audiobook for school, and I never once thought that I would cry from a school book. Thanks John Steinbeck. You really touched my heart.

In the first paragraph, Steinbeck uses adverbs and adjectives to convey exactly how the nature is in that point of time. Some examples would be: “deep,” and “green.” The use of these two words together show how the water in the river is moving, “running” if you will... if you won't, for any reason, that’s ok too. In the next sentence, Steinbeck uses the adjectives: “warm” and “yellow” separately, using warm to express how the water’s temperature is, ie. It could be cold, but it is not, it is warm, not hot, not room temperature, but warm. Meanwhile using “yellow” to describe how the sand is, it is not green, blue, red, orange, purple, pink, brown, black, white, grey, silver, or bronze, it is yellow!
The effect of this is to make the reader truly feel that they have accomplished something and now they have some new knowledge about how the water moves, what its temperature is like, and how the colour sand it ran across was like.
ok. this is a nice analysis, you’ve got the basic points right. however, you use lots of unnecessary phrases/ words and it’s obvious you’re trying to make your word count higher. for example; you don’t have to list all the colours - that’s irrelevant as you’ve already used the quote “yellow”. similarly, the tangent about the temperature is pointless when you’ve used already the quote to describe it. also “if you will... if you won’t for any reason, that’s ok too.” what? that doesn’t make sense and you don’t need to say that. furthermore, you’ve quoted the word “running” but that word wasn’t used, it was “runs” i don’t want to be rude but the whole part about it the effect on the reader makes no sense. to be honest, where you’ve used so many words, i can’t really tell what you’re trying to say. i’m really sorry and i know this is harsh but i felt like i had to say something.
a different way of analysing it would be: in the first paragraph, steinbeck uses adverbs and adjectives to convey the liveliness of nature. This is done through describing the river as “deep and “green”. combined with the verb “runs” this makes the river feel alive as “green” is associated with life and “runs” shows it’s moving quickly. furthermore, the sand is described as “yellow” which has connotations of being energetic and happy. This pathetic fallacy makes the reader feel excited, as the river is being shown as alive and compelling, setting up the rest of the book.
thank you so much, i had a report due on this today and i didnt read it, set is x2 speed, finished listening in 2 hours, and turned in the report on time!
I love Steinbeck. Maybe having to analyse stuff to a deadline kills some of the magic of it but if kids can't appreciate on some level what an amazing story and set of characters they've got here, then there's something wrong with them.

Oh my gosh this is a life saver. I have to read this book for an assignment but every time I try to read it I end up zoning out or getting bored and frustrated
I'd listen to George Guidall recite the alphabet. He's the GOAT. But to listen to him read Of Mice and Men is without comparison, the most memorable narration of all time.
Great book! I have a brother that's just like Lenny. OMG I've got my hands full just like George. Well now I can feed my worms, relax and listen at the same time. My cup runneth over!
Idkwhat made me think about this book but back when I was a sophomore in high school in 07 or 08 I was listening to this book on tape in my high school English class and just died laughing at this guy's southern accent. I was laughing so hard and uncontrollably that the teacher thought I was on drugs. I probably hit the bong that morning, but it wasn't the green that had me laughing that day. good times
Definitely the audiobook I have enjoyed listening THE MOST !! The accents were great, your voice really brang Lennie and George's story to life This video helped me to finally read that classic in a day and even if I'll definitely need a bit of time to recover from that story, I am SO HAPPY I did!! Thank you! 💚
I'm here because someone elsewhere said this book was about Dust Bowl immigrants and I didn't think so. Having never read it I thought maybe I should learn what I'm talking about. In context I was right; he was talking about Grapes of Wrath.
I just ran across it. I've seen a coupla or three film adaptations -- might have even read the book decades ago. But I have never been so deeply moved by this classic -- hats off to the narrator. And of course to John Steinbeck. I had just finished a three-day listen of Stephen King's "The Green Mile" when I began "Of Mice and Men," which I finished in one afternoon. "The Green Mile" was quite enjoyable, but when I started Steinbeck, I felt like I had stepped into an open meadow after days of whacking through a dense jungle with a machete. I guess that's the distinction between a good writer and a great one.
This guy is the best audiobook reader I have heard. He gives a unique cadence to each character, and seems like he’s really into the roles and how they’re read. Well done.
Here is a useful tip: Turn it up to x1.25, it will be quick at first, but will get slower in a minute or so. Then turn it up to x1.5, also will be quick at first but will get slower in a little over a minute. And then I get to x1.75, which eventually becomes the perfect speed!
The old man and his old dog was really sad, too. I think Steinbeck might have been drawing a parallel between that dog and Lennie. And the whole theme of people with big dreams always just beyond their reach is soul-shattering.

I read this for English Lit when I was 15, I listened to it here (at 45), for the enjoyment of it!
What's the noise at 1:11:31? Skipping CD?
Some say he is still waiting for the answer
Danny Dorito 😂it’s been a year and he hasn’t got an answer
i heard it a couple times throughout the entire book idk what it is
I thought I was crazy 😂
Sound like a Rythm just saying
In the first paragraph, Steinbeck uses adverbs and adjectives to convey exactly how the nature is in that point of time. Some examples would be: “deep,” and “green.” The use of these two words together show how the water in the river is moving, “running” if you will... if you won't, for any reason, that’s ok too. In the next sentence, Steinbeck uses the adjectives: “warm” and “yellow” separately, using warm to express how the water’s temperature is, ie. It could be cold, but it is not, it is warm, not hot, not room temperature, but warm. Meanwhile using “yellow” to describe how the sand is, it is not green, blue, red, orange, purple, pink, brown, black, white, grey, silver, or bronze, it is yellow!
The effect of this is to make the reader truly feel that they have accomplished something and now they have some new knowledge about how the water moves, what its temperature is like, and how the colour sand it ran across was like.
@@leiph english. somehow i know i speak english but sometimes i just think and wonder where da hell ppl get these from
ok. this is a nice analysis, you’ve got the basic points right. however, you use lots of unnecessary phrases/ words and it’s obvious you’re trying to make your word count higher. for example; you don’t have to list all the colours - that’s irrelevant as you’ve already used the quote “yellow”. similarly, the tangent about the temperature is pointless when you’ve used already the quote to describe it. also “if you will... if you won’t for any reason, that’s ok too.” what? that doesn’t make sense and you don’t need to say that. furthermore, you’ve quoted the word “running” but that word wasn’t used, it was “runs” i don’t want to be rude but the whole part about it the effect on the reader makes no sense. to be honest, where you’ve used so many words, i can’t really tell what you’re trying to say. i’m really sorry and i know this is harsh but i felt like i had to say something.
a different way of analysing it would be: in the first paragraph, steinbeck uses adverbs and adjectives to convey the liveliness of nature. This is done through describing the river as “deep and “green”. combined with the verb “runs” this makes the river feel alive as “green” is associated with life and “runs” shows it’s moving quickly. furthermore, the sand is described as “yellow” which has connotations of being energetic and happy. This pathetic fallacy makes the reader feel excited, as the river is being shown as alive and compelling, setting up the rest of the book.
thank you so much, i had a report due on this today and i didnt read it, set is x2 speed, finished listening in 2 hours, and turned in the report on time!
This is absolutely the best audio performance of this book. Thank you so much.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I just listened to FOUR HOURS of OMAM lol!
Listening the night before finals oops😂
SAME
im not a very emotional person but this book is just amazing, ive been sitting here taking in what i had just read. amazing narration. well done!
Excellent reading: brings out the pathos, drama and even comedy.
anyone listening to this for summer reading?
Yeh
ya, and I got til tomorrow and its 1:35 am
@Edward Cullen yeh I read it it was my summer reading
@Edward Cullen yeh I readit it was my summer reading

jemmaaaaa
True
i was so confused 😂
OMG yes! Those two paragraphs are the most important parts of the book too!
What is it?
If you listen VERY closely, preferably with headphones at 3:15:50, you can hear his stomach growling.😂 my mans is hungry
Lmao how did you even find that 😂😂
@@Victor.Krappenschittz lmao I was just reading for school and heard it
Sat there for 3 hrs straight to record it
No he just growled like a Baka 😩🤚😝🥺🥺🥺
@@dekul4495 please no I’m just trying to do my homework 😳
I have to have this read tomorrow and I’m not even through the first chapter. I’m going to cry myself to sleep
i have to take a test on it by the end of the day today and im only an hour in
Why would someone give this video a dislike?? The title is literally OMAM audiobook, what were they expecting?!?!
When quarantine hits so your teacher makes you listen to the book instead of reading it
I love Steinbeck. Maybe having to analyse stuff to a deadline kills some of the magic of it but if kids can't appreciate on some level what an amazing story and set of characters they've got here, then there's something wrong with them.
Great narration. Never fails to send me off to sleep, but fight it to hear more!
we do love listening to an audio book at 2:40am the night before you have a test on it

On your mark, get ready, start
Oh my gosh this is a life saver. I have to read this book for an assignment but every time I try to read it I end up zoning out or getting bored and frustrated
I'd listen to George Guidall recite the alphabet. He's the GOAT. But to listen to him read Of Mice and Men is without comparison, the most memorable narration of all time.
Great book! I have a brother that's just like Lenny. OMG I've got my hands full just like George. Well now I can feed my worms, relax and listen at the same time. My cup runneth over!
did anyone cringe when he kept saying the n word at 43:20
i mean, it was unnecesarilly necessary
i just feel bad. i wanted to skip it cuz it was so much but i was far from my computer
Imagine having to read this aloud to your class
@@usgamewolf6979 stfu it adds to the story
@@tyronypeperony9491 people skip over it in my class bc they think I'll get mad and I get uncomfortable (I go to a mostly white school)
Idkwhat made me think about this book but back when I was a sophomore in high school in 07 or 08 I was listening to this book on tape in my high school English class and just died laughing at this guy's southern accent. I was laughing so hard and uncontrollably that the teacher thought I was on drugs. I probably hit the bong that morning, but it wasn't the green that had me laughing that day. good times
the ending 🥺😞😫😖😢😭
This was wonderfully, and accurately narrated. One would feel to be living within the pages, as it is read.
Definitely the audiobook I have enjoyed listening THE MOST !! The accents were great, your voice really brang Lennie and George's story to life
This video helped me to finally read that classic in a day and even if I'll definitely need a bit of time to recover from that story, I am SO HAPPY I did!! Thank you! 💚
Lol anyone here just because it’s a classic book and wanted to hear it.
I'm here because someone elsewhere said this book was about Dust Bowl immigrants and I didn't think so. Having never read it I thought maybe I should learn what I'm talking about. In context I was right; he was talking about Grapes of Wrath.
I just ran across it. I've seen a coupla or three film adaptations -- might have even read the book decades ago. But I have never been so deeply moved by this classic -- hats off to the narrator. And of course to John Steinbeck. I had just finished a three-day listen of Stephen King's "The Green Mile" when I began "Of Mice and Men," which I finished in one afternoon. "The Green Mile" was quite enjoyable, but when I started Steinbeck, I felt like I had stepped into an open meadow after days of whacking through a dense jungle with a machete. I guess that's the distinction between a good writer and a great one.
Lol I’m reading it and listening to it, I have no clue why the information goes through my eye and out the other but this audiobook helps lol
This guy is the best audiobook reader I have heard. He gives a unique cadence to each character, and seems like he’s really into the roles and how they’re read. Well done.
I loved reading this book during English literature in school it was my favourite book, probably why I actually passed my exam.
The fact that this video has almost a million views means that hundreds of thousands of freshman don’t want to read it
I'm required to read this book at school. Why not listen to an audiobook
WHY NOT DO BOTH
The parts with Lennie's aunt and that talking Rabbit scared me when I was reading this in school.
Yea that came out of left field for me too. What the rabbit said made me cry though
Here is a useful tip:
Turn it up to x1.25, it will be quick at first, but will get slower in a minute or so.
Then turn it up to x1.5, also will be quick at first but will get slower in a little over a minute.
And then I get to x1.75, which eventually becomes the perfect speed!
Your doing good work
You crazy bastard!
It works though! Thank you 😁
Then later move it up to 2x if u want to get ur work done in time
Male Feminist "I understood that reference" 👀
Every time I read this book it makes me cry.....everytime
Thank you for this. My students can hear the voice and engage more easily with the language.
The ending is so sad....poor Lennie😥
@@williamthurman2706 o{oooooo
Poor George
It’s better then being hanged in front of everyone
And at least he was killed by a loved one
The old man and his old dog was really sad, too. I think Steinbeck might have been drawing a parallel between that dog and Lennie. And the whole theme of people with big dreams always just beyond their reach is soul-shattering.
POV: your here from an online homework thats been set for you and youre about to go and fill out a forms sheet on it
hi this is a weird question but do you have any notes from what your read that you could share 😭😭 or anything. I would really appreciate sorryyyyy
It’s been years since I read this in school but it’s still one of my favourite books so I had to come back and listen
Really excellent narration, which is a rare thing on YT. Thanks.

Except I'm actually 14 and this is actually deep
This video is like a textbook and each year it's passed down to new kids who write in the comment section.
Fantastic piece of work and a true classic. I cried at the end for the first time in a long time. I've read a lot of novels and usually the longer ones hit me harder, but not like this. Great things sometimes come in small packages.
Thanks, John. ❤️
Whilst this is a good book, John Steinbeck is still a shitty excuse for a human being. Terrible man honestly
Low key listening two nights before my exam I'm gonna fail 😂😏
Mine is tomorrow I'm half way through and I want to sleep ugh I will fail
mine is tomorrow #procrasinator
Pleaseeee mine is in 30 minutes
