I expected a comfy adventure that featured a chivalrous warrior band and faeries. Instead I got a depressing story about a man's lies and anger catching up to him along with losing his physicality and family.

The ending of of Mice and Men hit me really hard, the only prose that legitimately made me sob even though I've felt more disturbed/saddened by other prose. Not sure how that works. My dad's copy had two novellas (this one and Cannery Road) which I didn't realize. Thinking the story would go on for much longer the ending really caught me off guard.

I read this when I was a really little kid and it was the first sad book I read. When they announced the movie a few years ago, I was shocked that the commercials for it was all happy and mystical. I know that some people got upset that the commercials were misleading.

Yes, that one was really sad too, I just remembered that part when Stevens, in the end of the book, opens up to some random dude and starts to cry. A terribly sad story and yet a very good one, it's incredible how this writer manages to create greyish characters, and the way you can always empathize with them.
