Of Mice and Memes was genuinely a shit novel but not for the reasons listed.

I forgot a good 90% of the reasons since I only read it once and that was a long time ago but things to note are lack of depth, too short for its own good, characterization does not mean good characters, and things like that in general.

>exposition: george and lenny are poor so they go to work on a farm

>rising action: george and lenny make good money with their new friend and feel that their dream is closer than ever

>also rising action: shitloads of foreshadowing about euthanasia

>climax: lenny accidentally kills the bitch and ruins the dream

>falling action: george agonizes over lenny's fate, doesn't want to see him lynched or raped in prison

>resolution: george kills lenny

>conclusion: george is sad, tells the new friend to fuck off, and plans on going to town to fuck some hookers

How the fuck is that a "non-story"? Fuck I hate normalfaggots so much. Good stories are almost never about someone who "changes his environment"; they're about people who are changed by their environments. OM&M is the story of how George took the final blackpill.

Your green sarcasm would be on point, if you weren't asked to write a NOVELLA.

Of Mice & Men is good and all, but the bar wasn't really set that high, buddy. You could put your money where your mouth is.

Obsessing over people you know are inferior to you seems like a meaningless endeavor. It's also cheap. Did you actually break down his post in any meaningful way? No. Which is why his post isn't even wrong, but yours is.

His review is fine. He's literally challenging people to change his mind, which implies he knows what he's doing. What have you achieved however?
