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 !

@@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.
Only a handful of readers ever impressed me.. This ok boy reading is for sure one of the best. It was my pleasure and. A True delight to listen to this man do his craft. Thank you .... 😎
Thank you so much for sharing this, I loved the narrator's accents and tone !! What a wonderful book! I am from Portugal and learned about it in an episode of family guy 😂 I thought it seemed very interesting and I loved it!!! Thank you again for sharing ♥️

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

@@kozynthetaquito5506 you might like it later, you just have to find the right book. If I were you I would listen to the audiobook pimp by iceberg slim. Very harsh to listen too but it will show you how crazy stories(true stories) can get. It's about a pimp in the 1940s. I just turned 27 and I seen so much shit that by the time I'm 40 I might right a book myself. You'll see what I mean once you graduate
I really wish Mr. Lovell would do more audiobooks...this one has over a million views, you think he'd like to do more but who knows. He is an amazing narrator though!
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.

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.
@@samanansamam2734 , im so sorry i didn’t take notes😭 maybe you can search online for assignments on the book or something or detailed summaries or something
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!
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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!

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. ❤️

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.

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.
im really crying here over a english assignment damn
Yeah man it’s a classic
Rightt
Same
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
@@samanansamam2734 , im so sorry i didn’t take notes😭 maybe you can search online for assignments on the book or something or detailed summaries or something
Me being 15 and have to read this for my English class....
Starts at 2:15
34:46 page 17
Thanks
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!
Its a devastating story.
Very...I almost cried throughout n at the end im here crying. 😭😢
@@wendygoodman333 That ending had me rolling. Tend rabbits? You crazy bastard. You ain't fit to lick the boots of no rabbit.
Why are all the pieces of literature you read in school so depressing.
Scott Irwin I think every “literature text” for school includes death of a character the reader becomes close with kinda sad
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
Why would someone give this video a dislike?? The title is literally OMAM audiobook, what were they expecting?!?!
Great narration. Never fails to send me off to sleep, but fight it to hear more!
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.
This was wonderfully, and accurately narrated. One would feel to be living within the pages, as it is read.
im just a lazy freshmen with an excuse to use my laptop and do school work
joe mama
cool
ok
yo bro, how is senior year going for you?
freshman in college now lol
The fact that this video has almost a million views means that hundreds of thousands of freshman don’t want to read it
When quarantine hits so your teacher makes you listen to the book instead of reading it
I loved reading this book during English literature in school it was my favourite book, probably why I actually passed my exam.
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! 💚
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 😂😂
@@Dave.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 😳
Really excellent narration, which is a rare thing on YT. Thanks.

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
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.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I just listened to FOUR HOURS of OMAM lol!
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
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.
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

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
yep!
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
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
Am I the only one who came here to listen out of my own free will or what😂?
Ya
Me too lol
Thank you for this. My students can hear the voice and engage more easily with the language.
Every time I read this book it makes me cry.....everytime
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
This video is like a textbook and each year it's passed down to new kids who write in the comment section.
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)
All of us are here because of school at least most of us but this is still is a good book quite a good one infact
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
thank you for not putting ads on this you saint
the ending 🥺😞😫😖😢😭
I have to write an essay about the book, but whenever we read it in class I always fell asleep. Here I am.
Edit: i never paid attention in class but finished the essay first and passed sooo moral of the story, fall asleep in class kids. At least you can dream about the lesson
This is an excellent reading. Very soothing.
Cheers for the upload. A superb telling of a classic.
I remember watching this in my high school English class. Should have read the book 📚 but didn’t. This is really good. (:
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
