I read it for English at school as well, and we watched the film, both brilliant and so sad!

Have only read half of the book...I think I was distracted by Stephen Fry's books.

Fantastic book, I really liked it, the last two chapters are fantastic especially the second to last.
The film is quite good too, George is hot in the movie hehe. I foudn the ending for absupt in the movie really shocked me.
My favourite character is Curley's wife, such a complex make up to her, for example the difference between when we first see her, to her final scene, to the scene in Crooks' shed.

I had to write a 3 page piece on her so I know her pretty inside and out, I still enjoy analyzing her though.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the book, like a said the final two chapters really are great.

Aww thanks. I might have to do that yet.
Oh yeah I agree with you on george looking hot in the film. Apparently the actor of him was convicted for murder or something! I dont know if its true or not. I hope it isnt :(
