Of Mice & Men

I don't have many useful notes on this topic and want to do really well for my Literature Exam, has anybody got any notes they are willing to share?

I have looked on Bitesize & Samlearning...don't find it very helpful

It's not a hard book to write about anyway, you just need a couple of themes, to know each character's representation in society and to have compared the start of the first and last chapters. You can twist any of this to fit the essay you have to write.

There is a book by Pearson on Of Mice and Men (link posted above it seems). It was excellent. Helped me get my A*.
