Summary: Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck
Review:   The story took place in Soledad, California during the Great Depression. There were two migrant workers mentioned in this book, George and Lennie. They were best friends. Their relationship symbolizes strong vs. weak. One of them always causes the other trouble. You will think the weak one always causes strong trouble right? But the truth is, the strong guy(Lennie) always causes the weak(George) trouble. Why was that? First Lennie cause tiny problems, then bigger and finally the biggest trouble. Now what and how should the weak one(George) help or save his best friend?
  I give the rate of 4 stars to this book. It's a great book for love, friendship and at a loss as what to do. The theme of this book is sometimes friends have to force themselves do something that he/she doesn't want to. I recommend this book to those young children and adults who have been lost as to what to do.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: The Absolute Best Book I Have Ever Read!
Review: John Steinbeck truly outdone himself this time by writing one of best pieces of literature ever recorded by the English tradition. This is a story about two guys named Lenny and George who live in the 18th century and just try to make enough money to survive. They encounter many problems but they also make friends along their journey. George has a problem dealing with Lenny because of Lenny's mental illness and because he gets George in trouble too much. Steinbeck really makes you feel like you're in the book with the characters and adds a sense of setting that we can all picture in our minds.
I was never able to put down this book because I always wanted to know what would happen next. The suspense is unimaginable and the story seems so real that it's almost like Steinbeck was actually there following George and Lennie around. Read this book and you will discover the hardship of life in the 18th century for Lower Class men with no families, no home, and no long term job. They have to move on to job to job and get paid about 15 cents a day. They also encounter a lot of danger throughout the story and makes the reader wonder what will happen next. Everybody should read this book because the conclusion is guranteed to suprise you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better every time
Review: OF Mice and Men was a very good book, i could read it over and over. I have read the book a few time and it gets better every time. John Steinbeck was very creative to think of the character Lennie, and the troubles he was in. I also watch the movie and it did give the book some justice. It was almost the same way I pictured it while reading. In this book you do see the side of someone who is not very smart at all. I enjoyed this book very much and Will more in likely Pick it up again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Simple Read
Review: Of Mice and Men was about the best book I have ever read. It's a story of George and Lenny, two men that have not much more than each other. It's a captivating book, but not one to read if you like exciting, happily ever after endings. John Steinbeck is not that kind of writer. Everything that happens in the book is foreshadowed, and by the end it has you saying, "Oh, that's why he wrote whate he wrote in the beginning." It's a great book and a must read for high school students.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: " Of Mice and Men" a book i will never forget
Review: This book is a really great book. It teaches respect. One of the men in this book his name is Lennie. Lennie is mentally challenged. He isn't all that challenged because he and do a lot of things and remember a lot of things as well. Now he has a friend named George. George helps Lennie throughout the whole book. George is like a bigger brother to Lennie, but he really isn't.
George and Lennie go around trying to get jobs hoping one day they can make enough money to own their own farm. They land a job at this one farm. They become friends with the other men who live and work there. Lennie even though he is challenged he is a very big, strong man. He gets in a fight with another man there and he crushes his hand. The way that George helps Lennie in this book I thought was respectful and a good thing.
Its not like George treats Lennie bad and is disrespectful to him, he treats him with respect and when I read this book it taught me a lot about other people like Lennie. Now I could tell you what happened at the end f this book, but i'm not going to. If you really liked this review and you're really interested you will just have to read " Of Mice and men' by John Stienbeck.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Of Mice and Men
Review: An excellent piece of classic American literature, painting a very detailed picture of early America and the foot and thumb tradition.

Steinbeck's writing are in what I assume his finest form. The incorporation of slang and half-witted conversations adds to the atmosphere of this novel . It essentially is a story of Lenny (a slow giant-like person), and George ( the quick and sharp brains of the two). The bond they share is quite unforgettable as the losses they both take paint a strong image of brotherhood between males.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I ain't done nothin George!?
Review: This is truly one of the best books I've ever been exposed to. One word marks up most all of the dialouge. Profanity. There is cussin/swearing/four-letter-words/bad-mouthin all over this book. There is so much profanity in this book that at first it seems ludicrous. That is what makes it so good. Once you start to get used to it, you feel like you've been cussin all your life. Be careful, because if you let it go to your head, you might turn into Chris Rock. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the ultimate goal of any good writer is to allow the reader to join the story as a character themself. Becoming passive to the constant profanity causes you to become closer to the characters, and then, you are a character. It only gets better after that. When you find yourself throwing the book against the wall yelling, Why did you do it!!?!??!! I think you will understand what I mean . The book is horribly short, but it can't be too long or it would ruin the whole thing. I just wish Steinbeck would have molded the storyline to allow it to be longer. However, I would not have been able to bring myself to change it either after I read all the way. it doesn't matter, only a few works of imagination have been successful in making me a character of the story itself. They all recieved five stars. This one is no different!
